The injury wrap at the end of the first round of the AFL 2008 season.

Josh Hunt (Geelong) ankle
Sprained ankle on Thursday night. In some doubt, but with intensive physiotherapy should be OK for round two.

Cameron Howat (Richmond) concussion
Concussed on Thursday night but should make a full recovery.

Sean Rusling (Collingwood) shoulder
Another injury to his left shoulder is a shattering blow to the young Magpie forward. Scans tomorrow will reveal the full extent of the injury but he is likely to need further surgery.

Heath Black (Fremantle) concussion
Knock to the head left him with blurred vision. Should be OK for this week’s clash with Hawthorn.

Jed Adcock (Brisbane Lions) ankle
Sprained ankle. Did not appear too serious.

Trent Croad (Hawthorn) wrist
Came off early in yesterday’s game after injuring his wrist tackling David Neitz. X-rays taken after the match showed no fracture but the Hawk defender is unlikely to play this week.

Brent Reilly (Adelaide) wrist
Expected to miss at least six week after scans yesterday revealed he has a broken wrist.

Scott Lucas (Essendon) knee
About 12 weeks out for the Bomber forward with a posterior cruciate ligament injury in his left knee.

Corey Jones (North Melb) concussion
Will be monitored by North Melbourne medical staff this week.
