The 24-year-old will enter the mandatory concussion protocols, sitting out at least 12 days, meaning he'll miss the clash with West Coast.

Richards will join Nick Coffield on the sidelines, with the defender being subbed from the game due to a shoulder injury.
The former Saint popped out his right shoulder and was replaced in the first quarter by Oskar Baker.
Coffield has had a wretched run of injuries so far in his career, limiting him to 54 games since he debuted in 2018.
The former Pick 8 has been hindered by knee, hamstring and calf injuries, adding the shoulder to a frustrating list.
MORE TO COME.
