Simi Sasagi will miss 4-6 weeks due to a shoulder contusion, avoiding surgery after tests showed no structural damage.
Canberra's backrow stocks have taken another hit after scans revealed Simi Sasagi will miss four to six weeks with a shoulder injury.
Initially, there were fears Sasagi suffered an AC joint injury against Penrith last weekend but tests this week revealed no structural damage.
The Raiders are describing the injury as a "contusion" in Sasagi's shoulder.
The in-form Raides star has avoided going under the knife.
After starting the season in the centres, Sasagi shifted to the backrow to cover for Noah Martin.
