Drummond May Miss Another

Brisbane's popular $327k defender Josh Drummond may frustrate DT coaches around the country and miss the Lions' clash with Port on Saturday.

Drummond injured his calf in Round 11 and hasn't played since with Brisbane today acknowledging they were taking no risks with the damaging defender.

Lions assistant coach Justin Leppitsch said, "You've got to be very careful with injuries now, particularly with soft-tissue injuries.

"Another four weeks on the sidelines really puts back potential September participation.

"We're very mindful with him, he's got a bit of a history with ongoing injury, so we've just got to manage him very carefully."
