Roosters Medical Staff have this afternoon informed us that scans have today confirmed that centre Michael Jennings has sustained a tendon tear of the left lat dorsi.

Surgery is not required for the NSW Blues star however he is expected to be sidelined for 6 weeks, not the remainder of the 2014 Season as reported.

The speedster will now also unfortunately be unavailable for the Blues in Game III of the 2014 State of Origin Series at Suncorp Stadium, as they look to clean-sweep the Maroons.
