Damien Hardwick has ruled out Kane Lambert and Tom Lynch for next Friday night's clash against Sydney at the SCG after the pair suffered injuries in Saturday night's Dreamtime win over Essendon.
Lambert was substituted out of the 32-point win late in the third quarter due to hip soreness in his fourth game back from a hip concern over the pre-season, while Lynch spent the final quarter on the bench with ice on his hamstring.
The Tigers have the bye after next weekend's trip to Sydney before hosting Port Adelaide on Thursday June 9.
"Those boys won't play next week. We'll assess the damage and go from there," Hardwick said on Saturday night.
Richmond midfielder Jack Graham is expected to return for the trip to Sydney after being a late out for the clash against the Bombers due to a toe injury.
"He was touch and go. We thought he was no chance. He pushed and wanted to play such a significant game and then captain's run he just decided he wasn’t quite right," Hardwick said.
"We had fit players. Jack Ross came in and did a really good job, but Jack will be available to play next week at this stage."
