Hudson Young of the Canberra Raiders ruptured his Achilles, requiring surgery and rehabilitation for a 2027 comeback.
The Canberra Raiders have confirmed star edge back rower Hudson Young ruptured his Achilles.
Young's injury soured the club's 34-24 win over the South Sydney Rabbitohs on Saturday.
On-field diagnosis by club doctors tends to be highly accurate with Achilles injuries, with pushing off the heel out of contact and the sensation of immediately checking to see if they have been kicked all very common, according to NRL Physio and occurring in Young's case.
He will undergo surgery and commence rehabilitation to bounce back for the start of the 2027 season.
