Penrith's injury concerns will last long into NRL grand final week with fullback Dylan Edwards adding to their list of concerns with his right foot in a moon boot.
The Panthers were on Monday waiting for results of scans on four players, while another in Moses Leota is battling to return in time from a calf strain.
Powerful prop Tevita Pangai headlines the list of issues, with fears he has suffered medial ligament damage in his knee that would rule him out of the decider against South Sydney.
Pangai walked into the Panthers' media day on Monday wearing a brace, and was unavailable to speak.
Front-row partner James Fisher-Harris is also awaiting the results of scans on his knee, after struggling through parts of Saturday's win over Melbourne.
Meanwhile Edwards has been battling a foot injury through the second half of the season, forcing him to miss the opening week of the finals.
He was then spotted in Penrith camp on Monday with a moon boot on.
Lastly, NSW State of Origin winger Brian To'o continues to battle a syndesmosis injury and is also awaiting the result of scans.
To'o was jokingly pushed out in a wheelchair in front of media on Monday, but was later seen with a guard on his ankle.
The situation is as difficult as it has been for Penrith in a year where they have regularly been without players in training.
"It's been like this for the last four or five weeks," co-captain Isaah Yeo said.
"I can't remember the last time we had our full 17 there since Origin period with things like injuries and what not.
"It's obviously not ideal but it's something we have dealt with."
