Speaking at the Titans announcement for the 2021 All Schools Touch Tournament last week (more info), Brimson explained how the injury came about during his State of Origin debut in game 1 of this year's series.
"Lisfranc without completing rupturing the ligaments, just a sprain.
"As I caught it someone was coming down to jam me and I went up onto my toe and did some ligament damage." Brimson said.
The fullback also expressed his excitement at re-forming his combinations with the other members of the Titans 'spine' (halfback, hooker, five-eight, fullback) in 2021.
"Our spine really found our straps there at the end of the year, with Ash (Taylor), Jamal (Fogarty), Reiny (Mitch Rein) and myself really got those combinations working. especially Ash and Jamal with their combinations at the end of the year, so its exciting (for next season)." Brimson said.
