Colyer broke his thumb in a training mishap on Wednesday and is expected to be sidelined for up to six weeks.
General manager of football operations Paul Hamilton said, “It’s disappointing news for Travis so close to Saturday nights game.”
“Travis has had a big pre-season, and was really looking forward to playing a role in our first match against the Kangaroos.”
“Travis is remaining positive and while he won’t be able to partake in full scale training, he’s buoyed by the fact he will be able to maintain his fitness levels through running.”
