| Michael Walters | Hamstring | 1 week |
| Updated: August 6, 2024 | ||
Early prognosis
The Dockers are yet to settle on a timeline for Pearce to return after the cast was removed on his fractured left forearm but say he is progressing well. Likewise Walters, who is pushing to return soon from a hamstring injury that has sidelined him for two matches. McDonald and Muprhy will complete their final sessions in the reconditioning program this weekend, the Dockers said, before pushing to play after long-term injuries. - Nathan Schmook

| Updated: August 6, 2024 | ||
Early prognosis
De Koning looks to have dodged an injury bullet after collapsing with a knee injury against Adelaide. He'll be tested this week and is still a chance to face Fremantle. Veteran forward Rohan could come back in if he ticks off all the boxes in his concussion recovery. The news isn't quite as positive for O'Connor, who could miss a fortnight with a minor knee injury, while there is still no clarity on Guthrie's return from a long-running Achilles problem. - Michael Rogers

| Caleb Windsor | Ankle | 2-3 weeks |
| Updated: August 6, 2024 | ||
Early prognosis
No timeline has been set for May's return after he suffered multiple rib fractures against the Western Bulldogs. Salem continues to work through a hamstring injury and will re-enter main training this week in a bid to play in the latter stages of the season. Windsor is continuing his recovery from a syndesmosis injury but remains at least two weeks away. Ben Brown (knee) returned at VFL level last week. - Alison O'Connor

| Bigoa Nyuon | Shoulder | Season |
| Dylan Stephens | Ankle | 1 week |
| Curtis Taylor | Calf | Season |
| George Wardlaw | Concussion | 1 week |
| Updated: August 6, 2024 | ||
Early prognosis
The Kangas have ruled out Wardlaw for another week, given he's still in the AFL's 12-day protocols, while Logue will miss the rest of the season. Stephens will be sidelined for at least a week, but should return for the campaign's final fortnight. Fisher will undergo a fitness test later this week to determine his availability, but a decision has been made to rule Nyuon and Taylor out for the rest of the year. – Riley Beveridge

| Tom Papley | Ankle | 2-3 weeks |
| Dane Rampe | Calf | Test |
| Patrick Snell | Hamstring | 1 week |
| Updated: August 6, 2024 | ||
Early prognosis
The Swans should regain veteran Rampe (calf) and Joel Amartey (managed) for the crucial clash with Collingwood, while they're also hopeful Melican can return to shore up their backline. Key men McInerney and Papley are still several weeks away but should give the misfiring ladder leaders a much-needed boost for finals. - Martin Smith

| Dom Sheed | Hamstring | TBC |
| Updated: August 6, 2024 | ||
