Early prognosis

Adams' training has progress to a level where he is poised to re-join main training this week with the hope of being cleared to play against Geelong next week.

Ryan and Pearce face fitness tests this week, with Pearce likely to return through the WAFL if available. - Nathan Schmook

Early prognosis

Dangerfield is hoping to return shortly after the Cats' round 12 bye, while Evans is an outside chance to play VFL this week and Miers has started non-weight bearing running on the AlterG treadmill. A definitive timeline around O'Connor's return is unclear. Draftee Shannon Neale didn't play VFL last week but remains on a different training program to his teammates. - Mitch Cleary

Early prognosis

Greene has his arm in a sling as he starts his rehab on a fractured shoulder.

Early prognosis

Although no new names have been added to an extensive Kangaroos injury list, don't expect it to shorten this week. Hayden (hamstring) is likely still another week away, while Anderson (ankle), Corr (toe) and Polec (hamstring) could be further away than most initially thought. - Riley Beveridge

Ronke is expected to play in the VFL next week after an extended period on the sidelines. - Martin Pegan

Early prognosis

Mark Hutchings is off the injury list and set to return through the WAFL this week. - Nathan Schmook

Early prognosis

Hunter is expected to return from his hand surgery to face the Saints, while English is also likely after his concussion several weeks ago. But the Dogs' unavailable list is building, with Martin and Vandermeer ruled out for at least another three weeks, and Wood's hamstring injury set to see him miss up to six weeks. Ugle-Hagan also faces a test to get past his concussion from last week to be fit for selection. - Callum Twomey
