IN SOME rare good news around Adelaide's injury list, Taylor Walker has been cleared of significant damage to his hamstring. 

The skipper played less than half of Adelaide's 48-point win over Gold Coast, sitting out most of the match with what the club described as "hamstring awareness".

After positive scans, Walker said he had pulled up well after a run.

"I had a bit of awareness of Saturday night and we decided to be conservative given my limited pre-season," Walker told afc.com.au.

"I had a run around today and the hamstring felt pretty good.

"We have main training on Wednesday and we will reassess it then."

The Crows have suffered a slew of soft-tissue injuries this season, with Matt Crouch, Eddie Betts, Kyle Cheney, Sam Gibson and Lachlan Murphy all battling hamstring issues.
