Penrith forward Mitch Kenny and star back Dylan Edwards face extended absences that could affect the club’s NRL title campaign. Multiple reports say Edwards is unlikely to return for Penrith’s next match on Friday. The same sources indicate Kenny is expected to remain sidelined until September, which would extend his time out to around five months.
With Kenny’s injury stretching across much of the season period, Penrith faces selection challenges in both forward depth and overall squad balance. Edwards’ delayed return similarly limits the club’s options leading into the key final rounds, as he is also not expected back for Friday’s game.
The reports present a consistent timeline: Edwards’ comeback is pushed beyond Friday, while Kenny’s return is placed in September rather than earlier weeks. The club’s season planning is therefore likely to focus on coping without the pair until the finals phase, depending on their rehabilitation progress.
