Rohan will have a scan on his right knee on Sunday after he was taken from the ground on a mobile stretcher in the second quarter against the Crows.
McVeigh will also require a scan on a calf injury he suffered in the first half. The Swans co-captain returned to the field briefly after half-time heavily strapped but then was removed from the contest and put on ice, leaving Sydney with just two fit players on the bench for most of the second half.
"We didn't want to risk it either, it's a fine line between playing through that which Kurt obviously did last week, Jarrad was willing to do it tonight but we didn't want to keep pushing it," Swans coach John Longmire said.
"After we had a look at him running around we thought that's enough for him."
Longmire said he was unsure of the seriousness of Rohan's injury.
'We don't know yet, he'll get a scan tomorrow and see how he is," Longmire said.
"Gary copped a knock on the side, I don't know if it was a structural thing. We'll have to see how bad that is."
The Crows didn't escape unscathed either, with Jake Lever forced off in the second quarter with an ankle injury and Daniel Talia playing through a groin complaint.
Sydney won the game by six goals, led superbly by midfielder Luke Parker who made 12 tackles, collected 24 possessions and kicked a goal.
"To lose two halfway through the second and to finish off with a six-goal last quarter was a real credit to the mental strength of the players," Longmire said.
"Five or six of the first seven goals in the first quarter were probably from just our efforts to turn the ball over and our fierce presence and pressure around the ball.
"There are no secrets to it, particularly the way we like to play. We brought enormous energy and intensity tonight."
