Jake Averillo will be sidelined for approximately six weeks following a successful hand surgery.
This injury has kept him from participating in the Dolphins' ANZAC Round match against the Warriors.
Surgery revealed that he had dislocated fingers from a recent tackle.
Additionally, the procedure addressed a wound caused by the impact during the game.
Averillo is anticipated to resume play in about six weeks.
On a brighter note for the Dolphins, Morgan Knowles is likely to make a comeback from his calf injury.
Kurt Donoghoe is also on the path to recovery from a hamstring issue, and Brad Schneider is expected to return after dealing with illness.
Furthermore, Jack Bostock made his return through Queensland Cup over the weekend after healing from an ACL injury.
