St George Illawarra prop Paul Vaughan is in a race against the clock to be fit for the NRL finals because of an ankle injury.
The club on Tuesday confirmed the NSW State of Origin front-rower suffered a high ankle sprain in the weekend's loss to the Warriors.
He is expected to miss the next four weeks, putting him in doubt to be back on the park before the finals.
It's a blow for the Dragons who have slumped badly over recent weeks, losing four of their last five games.
They currently sit in the top four on 28 points, but their place in the finals is in danger if they lose all four of their remaining games.
