World-record cap holder Alun Wyn Jones will miss Wales' Six Nations trip to face Scotland at Murrayfield next Saturday.
Jones, 37, failed a head injury assessment during the second half of the 34-10 defeat against Ireland in Cardiff.
Jones was replaced by Dafydd Jenkins, with Christ Tshiunza and Rhys Davies the other lock options in the squad.
Prop Tomas Francis is also a doubt after suffering a calf injury.
Francis was replaced at half-time by Dillon Lewis and will have a scan on Monday.
Dragons' Leon Brown is the tight-head prop alternative for Warren Gatland.
"I think we've always said we wanted to look at some players in the squad," said Gatland.
"There was an opportunity for those players to go out there and perform this afternoon.
"We will look at what players might potentially get an opportunity next week."
