Dragons forward Ryan Couchman has unfortunately suffered a torn ACL that will end his 2025 season.
Couchman was taken from the field with a right knee injury against the Bulldogs on Saturday night with scans on Sunday subsequently confirming the ACL injury.
He will now undergo surgery and commence the rehabilitation process with a view to taking part in the side’s 2026 pre-season.
“This is a really unfortunate injury for Ryan coming just a few minutes into his 2025 season,” said Dragons coach Shane Flanagan.
“Ryan had a great pre-season and we were looking forward to a big season from him.
“I’ve got no doubt he will throw himself into his rehab with the same level of professionalism he approaches his training and we look forward to seeing him hit the ground running in 2026.”
