Out for 2-4 weeks
O'Connor will be sidelined for at least two weeks due to a hamstring injury, Mitch Cleary of the AFL's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
O'Connor logged just three disposals (all kicks), a mark and a free kick prior to his departure from the team's loss to Port Adelaide last week. Unfortunately, the hamstring could prevent him from playing again this season, though a return for the grand final could still be on the table.

Available for selection
O'Connor (undisclosed) has been declared available for selection in Round 17 against Carlton, according to GM Simon Lloyd.
ANALYSIS
O'Connor missed Round 16 but it appears to be a simple omission, so he's on track to return against the Blues. If he can manage to top 20 disposals, there could be some value to find.

Out for Round 16
O'Connor will miss Round 16 against Essendon with an undisclosed injury.
ANALYSIS
O'Connor had played in all three matches in June but only eight total in 2021. His recent production won't be much of a loss in fantasy.

Back in action versus Power
O'Connor (hamstring) is set to return versus Port Adelaide in Round 13, Jon Pierik of The Age reports.
ANALYSIS
O'Connor has averaged 16.8 disposals and 4.8 tackles through five appearances this season. He is one of four Cats -- along with Mitch Duncan (concussion), Mark Blicavs (calf) and Patrick Dangerfield (ankle) -- to return this week, which should improve the team's depth.

Likely out a few weeks
O'Connor (hamstring) could be out for multiple weeks while in his rehab program, according to Simon Lloyd.
ANALYSIS
O'Connor is a sizable loss for the Cats after putting up 19.7 disposals and 5 tackles per game through three appearances this season. It remains to be seen when he'll return, and playing in Round 7 seems unlikely.
