But the two are both scheduled to resume training today, with a decision to be made on their availability later in the week.
In further good news for the province, Simon Zebo and Diarmuid Barron have both recovered from illness and will also return to training today.
Zebo had been set to start against Exeter while Barron had been named on the bench, but both players were ruled out on the morning of the game with acute gastroenteritis.
Meanwhile, Alex Kendellen will go through the return to play protocols after failing a HIA in Exeter, with the number eight removed from the action after 28 minutes at Sandy Park.
Kendellen’s replacement, Jack O’Sullivan, picked up a knee injury during the game and will go for a scan today.
There was no further update available on Gavin Coombes (ankle), Dave Kilcoyne (neck), Tadhg Beirne (thigh), Andrew Conway (knee), James French (knee) or RG Snyman (knee).
