Injury Report: Round 3
Ben Serpell provides an update on the injury list before our Round 3 clash against Fremantle.
Samson Ryan: Foot, Available
"Samson's got through his rehab at this stage, and we're expecting him to have a little bit of game time this weekend," Serpell said.
"We'll let the coaches make their decision on what level he plays at this weekend."
Toby Nankervis: Hamstring, 6-8 weeks
"Toby Nankervis is probably the most serious out of them all," Serpell said.
"It was a contact injury, similar to the mechanism that Harry Armstrong sustained a hamstring injury with last year, but nowhere near as bad, thankfully.
"Unfortunately, that's going to see him on the sidelines for six to eight weeks."
Tom Lynch: Hamstring, 4-5 weeks
"Lynch's hamstring is a disappointment to us all," Serpell said.
"It's not as serious as Toby Nankervis. Nevertheless, he'll still sit out for four to five weeks."
Nathan Broad: Calf, 1 week
"We saw Nathan Broad present to the injury clinic the next day after the game. He sustained a small calf strain," Serpell said.
"We expect him to sit out one week of playing."
Rhyan Mansell: Wrist, 3-4 weeks
"Rhyan Mansell's surgery went well, according to the surgeon," Serpell said.
"He did have a surgical consult this week, and the surgeon would still like to keep him out of playing for another three to four weeks."
Taj Hotton: Hip, TBC
"Taj has done exceptionally well," Serpell said.
"He had a follow-up scan on that hip today. Everything came back positive, and things are tracking in the right direction and we will hopefully have some more time frames for him in a few weeks when we repeat the scans."
Tom Sims: Foot, TBC
"Simsy should be integrating into a bit of training this week," Serpell said.
"He's progressed quite a bit over the last little while and hopefully can bring up some footy load over the next little while."
Sam Cumming: Shoulder, TBC
"Sam's progressing his strength training really well, and at the moment we're anticipating he'll be rejoining full training this week," Serpell said.
"We'll see a few weeks of full-contact training with him and make an assessment after that."
