|---|---|---|
| Tom Doedee | Knee | Season |
| Andrew McPherson | Quad | 5 weeks |
| Nick Murray | Hamstring | Test |
| Zac Taylor | Foot | 5-7 weeks |
| Updated: June 27, 2023 | ||
Early prognosis
Murray received a cork to his hamstring in a marking contest against Collingwood, with scans revealing no strain. The area is heavily bruised, however, and the defender will progress from pool recovery to mid-week running before determining his availability this week. – Nathan Schmook

| Daniel Rich | Managed | TBC |
| Dayne Zorko | Calf | Test |
| Updated: June 27, 2023 | ||
Early prognosis
Zorko was put through his paces at Tuesday's main training session, but the Lions are yet to decide whether he'll be available to face Richmond on Thursday night. Mathieson jogged a number of laps on Tuesday before joining the main group, while Rich and Gunston also did quite a bit of running on their own as they now enter week three of a training block. – Michael Whiting

Brayden Maynard copped a late blow to his shoulder on the weekend, but didn’t have a scan and trained on Tuesday. The All-Australian defender is expected to be available for the trip to the Gold Coast. - Josh Gabelich

| Will Setterfield | Foot | 3 weeks |
| Dylan Shiel | Foot | Test |
| James Stewart | Foot/Personal | 3 weeks |
| Updated: June 28, 2023 | ||
Early prognosis
The Bombers will be without Draper for at least the next two weeks, but could regain Shiel for the clash against Port Adelaide, while Zerk-Thatcher looks set to be available despite hurting his adductor in the loss to Fremantle. Hunter has been ruled out for the rest of the season due to his back injury. – Dejan Kalinic
| PLAYER | INJURY | ESTIMATED RETURN |
|---|---|---|
| James Aish | Back | Test |
| Heath Chapman | Hamstring | Test |
| Matt Taberner | Back | TBC |
| Updated: June 27, 2023 | ||
Early prognosis
Chapman has progressed quickly in the past fortnight and is on track to play restricted minutes in the WAFL this weekend if he gets through training. Aish is planning to train fully and push for selection against the Western Bulldogs after a back injury delayed his return from concussion. Matthew Johnson (cork) and Alex Pearce (lower leg) have been cleared to play this week after ending the win against Essendon with concerns. Sean Darcy and Michael Frederick have pulled up well after returning from hamstring and ankle injuries respectively. – Nathan Schmook

| Jeremy Cameron | Concussion | Short term |
| Jon Ceglar | Ankle | Short term |
| Jhye Clark | Foot | Medium term |
| Toby Conway | Foot | Medium term |
| Cam Guthrie | Toe | Medium term |
| Flynn Kroeger | Knee | Medium term |
| Sam Simpson | Hand | Short term |
| Updated: June 27, 2023 | ||
Early prognosis
Cameron has entered concussion protocols and won't be available this weekend following a big hit against Melbourne. Patrick Dangerfield and Esava Ratugolea will return for Friday night's big game against Sydney at the SCG. Simpson underwent hand surgery and won't be available in the coming weeks, while Guthrie is out of the moonboot on Friday and eyeing a return late in the season. – Josh Gabelich
| PLAYER | INJURY | ESTIMATED RETURN |
|---|---|---|
| Joel Jeffrey | Foot | 6 weeks |
| Touk Miller | Knee | 1 week |
| Updated: June 27, 2023 | ||
Early prognosis
Miller is back to full training, although the Suns say they will still be cautious and the dual All-Australian won't be available for Saturday's match against Collingwood. Jeffrey is likely to be back before the end of the season. – Michael Whiting

| Adam Kennedy | Knee | Season |
| Braydon Preuss | Back | TBC |
| Lachie Whitfield | Suspension | Round 17 |
| Updated: June 27, 2023 | ||
Early prognosis
The Giants don't expect Daniels to be fit just yet, but Nick Haynes (ankle) and Jesse Hogan (calf) have recovered over the bye and should play. Davis and Gillbee are also likely to return, but expect that to be at VFL level. Whitfield is suspended. – Riley Beveridge
| PLAYER | INJURY | ESTIMATED RETURN |
|---|---|---|
| Changkuoth Jiath | Calf | Test |
| Max Lynch | Concussion | Season |
| Jack O'Sullivan | Groin | Test |
| James Sicily | Suspension | Round 18 |
| Updated: June 27, 2023 | ||
Early prognosis
Jiath has missed the past five games but is expected to be available for selection this weekend. The Hawks will make a decision later in the week whether to play him in the VFL to build up his minutes or bring him straight back in to face Carlton on Sunday. O'Sullivan is dealing with a groin injury and might be another week away. – Josh Gabelich

|---|---|---|
| Michael Hibberd | Kidney | TBC |
| Tom McDonald | Ankle | 4-6 weeks |
| Clayton Oliver | Hamstring/Infection | 1-2 weeks |
| Kye Turner | Groin | TBC |
| Updated: June 26, 2023 | ||
Early prognosis
Oliver was sent for follow-up scans on his niggling hamstring strain and subsequently has been ruled out this week. Hibberd also won't be available after suffering a kidney injury in the clash against Geelong and will be restricted to non-contact training while it heals. McDonald is integrating running into his rehab this week following ankle surgery last month but is still 4-6 weeks away. – Alison O'Connor

| Charlie Comben | Ankle | 4 weeks |
| Luke Davies-Uniacke | Hamstring | Test |
| Brayden George | Knee | Season |
| Josh Goater | Knee | Test |
| Jack Mahony | Shoulder | Season |
| Updated: June 27, 2023 | ||
Early prognosis
The Kangaroos will be hopeful that Davies-Uniacke can return, having sufficiently recovered from a hamstring injury. Goater is a chance at playing this weekend, but will likely make his comeback through the VFL. – Riley Beveridge

| Brynn Teakle | Foot | 6-8 weeks |
| Updated: June 27, 2023 | ||
Early prognosis
Some good news with Duursma in line to play his first footy since round seven, pending getting through training, while Jones is on track for a round 18 return. Clurey is not progressing as fast as first hoped and is still a month away. – Michael Whiting

| Nick Coffield | Calf | 2-4 weeks |
| Jack Hayes | Hamstring | 2-3 weeks |
| Angus McLennan | Back | 2-4 weeks |
| Tim Membrey | Knee | 4-6 weeks |
| Updated: June 27, 2023 | ||
Early prognosis
The Saints' injury list is getting shorter the longer the season progresses. Clark will resume full training this week and is closing in on a return next weekend after suffering his MCL injury against Hawthorn in round 11. Membrey is still at least a month away as he works his way back from the knee issues that have plagued him in 2023. – Josh Gabelich

| Matt Roberts | Knee | 1-3 weeks |
| Marc Sheather | Foot | Season |
| Sam Wicks | Suspension | Round 17 |
| Updated: June 27, 2023 | ||
Early prognosis
Much has improved on the injury front for the Swans, with Isaac Heeney, Logan McDonald and Callum Mills returning last week, while Tom McCartin played in the VFL. Franklin could also be back to face the Cats. Will Hayward is also available after being a late withdrawal from last week's thrashing of West Coast due to illness. – Dejan Kalinic
| PLAYER | INJURY | ESTIMATED RETURN |
|---|---|---|
| Jordyn Baker | Hamstring | Test |
| Coby Burgiel | Hamstring | 7-8 weeks |

| Shannon Hurn | Hamstring | Test |
| Callum Jamieson | Hip | 2 weeks |
| Jamaine Jones | Ankle | 6-7 weeks |

| Jack Williams | Ankle | Test |
| Isiah Winder | Knee | 2-3 weeks |
| Elliot Yeo | Hip | 3-4 weeks |
| Updated: June 27, 2023 | ||
Early prognosis
Yeo experienced tightness late in the Eagles' loss to Sydney and underwent scans, which revealed irritation on his hip flexor on the left side. The midfielder will spend a third stint on the sidelines this season. Waterman has been diagnosed with Ulcerative colitis, an inflammatory bowel disease that has put his season in doubt while he undergoes further testing and treatment. McGovern suffered a small setback in his push to play last week, with the key defender expected to miss one more match. Ryan looks likely to join Culley and Naitanui soon in being ruled out for the season. Hurn is not yet certain to join Jamie Cripps in coming off the injury list and playing this week after a light session on Tuesday. – Nathan Schmook

| Dom Bedendo | Groin | Test |
| Hayden Crozier | Hamstring | 7-9 weeks |

| Tim O'Brien | Hamstring | 7-9 weeks |
| Ed Richards | Hamstring | 2-3 weeks |
| Roarke Smith | Foot | Indefinite |
| Updated: June 27, 2023 | ||
Early prognosis
The Dogs have returned from the bye and will focus on how to replace Liam Jones and Tim O’Brien this weekend. Sam Darcy could be right to resume his season after fracturing his jaw in the VFL. Ed Richards has returned from the week away in great condition and is pushing to return next Friday night against Collingwood, although he might need another week. Jason Johannisen is still at least a few weeks away. – Josh Gabelich
