Josh Papali'i may be sidelined for two months with a calf tear, missing State of Origin's opener.
The Canberra Raiders could be without star enforcer Josh Papali'i for two months after scans confirmed he suffered a partial calf tear.
Papali'i is expected to miss six to eight weeks due to the injury - the Green Machine's second blow in the wake of the Melbourne Storm win.
The Raiders also lost second-row gun Hudson Young for the next two weeks due to suspension for a high tackle.
Papali'i's absence rules him out of making another inspirational return for Queensland in the State of Origin opener in Sydney on May 27.
