Riewoldt landed awkwardly in a marking contest during the first quarter and played no further part in the match.
“Jack has pulled up well this morning and is showing no ill-effects from his concussion,” Richmond Elite Performance Manager Matthew Hornsby said.
“We’ll continue to monitor him throughout the week, but at this stage we expect him to play against Hawthorn on Saturday night.”
Riewoldt was seen remonstrating with Richmond’s medical staff during the first half, before being replaced by substitute Brad Helbig.
“Being agitated and emotional are common reactions to concussions, and we’ve seen that on numerous occasions,” Hornsby said.
“The decision by the medical team to not allow him back on the field was absolutely the right one. In our view he was not fit to see out the match.”
