Kieran Foran will undergo surgery on Wednesday after scans confirmed the playmaker sustained a biceps tear in Saturday's 26-18 trial win against the Dolphins at Kayo Stadium.
Expected to be out for the next 12 weeks - the 34-year-old will eye a return in May, dependent on his progression recovering from going under the knife.
Forced onto the sidelines in the 36th minute after coming off the bench in a new role for the Titans in 2025, the seasoned veteran defiantly vowed his latest injury setback won't close the curtain on his illustrious career in his 17th season playing NRL.
"It won't be the end of me. I've committed to this year and I'm sticking strong to that," Foran said post-match on Saturday.
"I've gotten pretty good at dealing with these setbacks.
"I'll knuckle down with my rehab and then attack the backend of the year."
In the only other injury concern from the weekend's trial, Josiah Pahulu will undergo concussion protocols after his Category 1 head injury assessment in the 32nd minute.
