The Melbourne Storm recently provided an injury update on several of their players, including Harry Grant and Jack Howarth.
Initial reports suggested Grant could be out for up to six weeks due to a hamstring strain, but it has since been revealed to be minor.
The club now expects him to miss games against the South Sydney Rabbitohs and Canberra Raiders before returning in Round 10 against the Wests Tigers.
The club's general manager of football, Frank Ponissi, stated, "Harry suffered a hamstring strain at last week's Captain's Run.
He'll miss the next two games, Anzac Day and then Magic Round.
We're hoping he'll be back in time to face the Wests Tigers."
Meanwhile, Howarth, who suffered a dislocated shoulder in the same game, is expected to only miss between four and six weeks.
Fortunately, he will not require surgery for his injury.
Despite the setbacks, the Storm are optimistic about the recovery timeline for both players.
Overall, the injury updates on Grant and Howarth bring a sense of relief for the Storm, as they were initially concerned about the severity of their injuries.
The team will now have to make adjustments for the upcoming matches without these key players but are hopeful for their return in the near future.
