Adelaide defender Jordon Butts will miss the Crows’ next two AFL games because of concussion.<\/p>\n

It will put him out of action for the Good Friday home game against Fremantle and the Gather Round clash with Carlton.<\/p>\n

The Crows said Butts reported “mild” concussion symptoms on Sunday, three days after he had a head clash during their narrow loss to Geelong.<\/p>\n

They said Butts passed a head injury assessment during the game.<\/p>\n

“The AFL Review Centre classified the incident as a discretionary review and our medical team chose to assess him on the bench,” Crows football boss Adam Kelly said.<\/p>\n

“He displayed no symptoms the day after the game, but unfortunately on Sunday this had changed and that led to a diagnosis of delayed concussion.”<\/p>\n

Under AFL rules, Butts must be symptom-free for at least 12 days before he can play again.<\/p>\n
