Rabbitohs player Brock Gardner suffered a torn Achilles in a football training drill last Friday while accelerating.
Brock underwent successful surgery on Monday and the surgeons were happy with how the repair went. The timeframe for a torn Achilles is approximately 6-9 months recovery time.
Brock is currently recovering from surgery at home, with a view to return to the squad and start his treatment and rehab plan in two weeks time.
