Jacobs underwent surgery on his right knee and is facing 4-6 weeks of rehab. Jones and McHenry will be assessed this week after both were concussed in their respective fixtures. - Lee Gaskin

Clean bill of health for the Lions at the weekend, playing 20 listed players in their NEAFL team. Adams is closing in on his first game for the club. - Michael Whiting 

Matthew Kreuzer and Darcy Lang made successful returns through the VFL last week and should push for AFL selection against the Western Bulldogs. After long periods out of the game, young defenders Macreadie and Williamson will likely return to VFL action this week. Kennedy, Fasolo and Phillips are all a 50/50 chance to feature. - Riley Beveridge

Beams is expected to be back to face his former club Brisbane at the Gabba on Thursday night but Mayne requires some healing time. Hoskin-Elliott is back in full training and is perhaps just a week away, and so is father-son draftee Will Kelly, but a timeline for Murphy remains unclear. Tyler Brown and Madgen will be assessed after sitting out the second half in the VFL. Scharenberg is on target for a mid-season return from a third knee reconstruction, but the season seems over for veteran Dunn after a second anterior cruciate ligament rupture in nine months. - Ben Collins

The biggest watch before this week's Good Friday clash is on Zaharakis, who sustained a deep cut to his knee in last week's win over Brisbane. Joe Daniher is right to play, but whether it's at VFL or AFL level remains the question. Jayden Laverde and Brandon Zerk-Thatcher are also back from their minor ankle injuries and will feature in the VFL on Saturday. - Callum Twomey

Fyfe and Hamling have to pass cognitive state tests this week to be cleared for the trip to Canberra to face the Giants, but both trained to varying degrees on Tuesday. In a major boost, Blakely is almost ready to resume playing after his long-term hamstring. Bennell needed an ultrasound scan on Tuesday after feeling calf awareness. The scan showed nothing but he will have a MRI on Wednesday. – Travis King

Things are starting to turn for the Suns on the injury front. Josh Corbett made a successful debut with three goals at NEAFL level last weekend, while Lemmens is also a chance to return at the weekend. It's hard to see Powell recovering from his graphic concussion against Carlton, while Hombsch played the game out with his elbow injury and should be OK. - Michael Whiting

Co-captain Ward had his knee reconstruction in Melbourne on Tuesday and will miss the rest of the season. Greene has been ruled out of Saturday afternoon's clash with Fremantle but should be right to face Sydney in round six, but the news is better for Langdon who was able to do some light skills work on the track. Cumming and Buckley were both injured in the first half of the Giants' heavy loss to Brisbane in the NEAFL on the weekend. - Adam Curley

The carnage continues at Waverley Park. There have been consistent injury setbacks since Mitchell broke his left leg in mid-January. Frawley and Stratton suffered injuries that prematurely ended their game on Sunday, while Cousins, Conor Nash and Isaac Smith were among those to push through duress. O'Meara was a late withdrawal after barely training last week and he will aim to return against Geelong on Easter Monday. Schoenmakers continues to struggle with Achilles issues, as he has for years. Birchall stepped up his running intensity and involvement last week, and fellow rehab group members Minchington and Walker are also progressing. – Marc McGowan

Oscar McDonald has cleared concussion protocol and will be available for selection against the Saints. Lewis should also be ready to play his first game of the season. Jetta and Lockhart, late withdrawals from the win over Sydney, will be tested on the track later in the week. Preuss, who had scans on his shoulder, will also have to be cleared to play, but the Demons are hopeful he'll be ready. Kolodjashnij is still experiencing concussion symptoms, so the Demons will be patient with his return give his history of head/neck injuries - Ben Guthrie

McKay didn't make it to quarter-time in the VFL after playing the first three rounds in the AFL, while Taylor Garner (groin/quad) played two quarters in his return after a fortnight out and came through unscathed. Defender Murphy is set for a stint on the sidelines because of his ankle injury from the same VFL contest. Williams, Durdin, McKenzie and Xerri may miss just one more game each if things go well. Bailey Scott and Irishman Red Og Murphy were both rested at the weekend. – Marc McGowan

Amon has made good progress from a knee injury and could play at some level this weekend. It'd be unlikely he'd come straight back into the AFL side for the Power's Good Friday encounter with West Coast at Optus Stadium. Hartlett could also return in the SANFL for Port's encounter with Norwood at Coopers Stadium on Thursday night. There's still no timeline on Dixon's recovery from a leg injury. - Lee Gaskin

After a horror few weeks, just the one addition for the Tigers with young defender Markov tearing the meniscus in his right knee in the VFL. He will require surgery. Key forward Riewoldt is getting closer to a return, but with a four-day break between rounds five and six for the Tigers, expect him to be held over for the Anzac Day Eve clash with Melbourne. Houli is once again a test after he was a late withdrawal last week due to a persistent hamstring strain – Sarah Black.

A right ankle concern for Parker, sustained during the win over Hawthorn, is cause for concern, but he played out the second half. Austin needs a left shoulder operation and faces a long stint on the sidelines. The club says Steven is sore but haven't identified a specific ailment, but it hopes he will be available to face Melbourne on Saturday. - Dinny Navaratnam

Menzel should be ready to resume playing in the NEAFL over the next fortnight if he can get some solid training in and pulls up well. Isaac Heeney (hip) copped another solid knock in last week's loss to Melbourne and pulled up sore after the game, but he'll be fine to face Richmond. - Adam Curley

Jetta was involved in a light training run on Monday and showed no signs of hamstring tightness which kept him out of the Western Derby. Rioli was back on the field at Subiaco Oval, albeit doing very little, while Naitanui is in the 'pre-season' phase of his training ahead of a comeback predicted to be within the next two months. – Travis King

Another clean bill of health at AFL level following a 14-point loss to Collingwood on Friday night. Forward Greene hurt his ankle in a tackle during a VFL win and is expected to miss several weeks. Footscray has a bye in the upcoming round but Cavarra, Khamis and Vandermeer could all be available the next time the side is selected. - Paul Bastin
