Collingwood forward Mason Cox has been ruled out for the rest of the season after copping a knock to the larynx on Sunday.
During a VFL scratch match, the 30-year-old received a knock to the throat which resulted in a bruised larynx. Cox missed a month of football earlier in the year for a similar injury.
Positively, mid-season draftees Ash Johnson and Aiden Begg returned from injury to play their first game for the club in an VFL scratch match.
After being subbed out of the AFL game on the weekend, Trey Ruscoe (ankle) will be touch and go for the final round of the season.
