![Injury Update: Hammer cleared for Origin III](/siteassets/images/2024/06/240628-hammerclearedorigin3-hero.jpg?center=0.409%2C0.493&preset=hero-primary-wide)
Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow will be fit for the Origin decider in Brisbane after scans revealed a minor AC joint injury.
'The Hammer' injured his shoulder in the first half of Wednesday's Origin match against NSW, but returned to the field to play out the second half.
The Hammer scores his 9th Origin try
Scan results this morning confirmed a grade-one AC joint injury.
Tabuai-Fidow will not play for the Dolphins against the Dragons on Sunday as expected, but the injury would not keep him out of any more matches.
Dolphins 'Head of Performance Jeremy Hickmans said Tabuai-Fidow had reported back to Brisbane in reasonable condition.
"The reality is that if we did not have a bye next week he would be right to go for the Dolphins," said Hickmans.
"Because of the third Origin camp he is unlikely to play for us against the Rabbitohs on July 11.
"The injury looks pretty good at the moment and should not cause him any trouble in his next game, will most likely be for Queensland."
Felise Kaufusi also reported in good health after playing limited minutes against NSW, so is fit for selection against the Dragons.
