Blues forward Cameron Murray sustained a hamstring injury in the first half of the series opener in Adelaide, with the Rabbitohs star now ruled out of the remainder of the series, per NRL.com.
Murray's injury came shortly after captain Boyd Cordner left the field following a head knock, with the Roosters veteran eventually returning to play after passing a head injury assessment.
Isaah Yeo, Dale Finucane and Nathan Brown are all placed as potential replacements for Murray.
Queensland had injury woes of their own with centre Brenko Lee ruled out of the match after limping off during a late fitness test on Wednesday night.
Kurt Capewell failed to finish the match after aggravating a previous groin injury during his debut match for the Maroons.
Capewell told NRL.com that he is confident he would be available for game two at ANZ Stadium next Wednesday.
Queensland prop Christian Welch also had to be replaced in the closing stages after suffering a head knock.
