Injury Report: March 8, 2023Latest injury update from Physical Performance Manager Luke Meehan ahead of Richmond's season opener against Carlton next Thursday.
Dion Prestia, pectoral"He's pulled up quite well actually. We're hoping to get him involved in a couple of sessions leading up to next Thursday night. At the moment, things are looking really positive. He has a couple of sessions to get through, but we're hopeful that he's okay."
Jayden Short, calf"(He's) probably not as likely, but again, there's a fair bit of time still to go and a main training session next Tuesday, so he would have to be a part of that. But at this stage, he's maybe unlikely (for Round 1)."
Josh Gibcus, hamstring"Unfortunately, Josh has had a few issues with his wound from (hamstring) surgery (in January). He's had an infection there and it's been a bit of a nasty one, so he's been laying low while that gets right. He's going to be back in the program the next few days and he'll resume his rehab program."
Jack Ross, knee"Unfortunately, Jack hurt himself in the last session before the Melbourne game. Things have improved quite a lot since then and similar to Dion, we're hoping that he'll improve a lot and be able to train (in the main session) next Tuesday and be available, but (he's) probable at this stage."
Jack Graham, toe"Jack's done a mountain of work the last four to six weeks. He's going to be available for some game time next week. He almost played on the weekend, but it was just a last-minute decision that we decided we would get more out of a session than playing some game time, but all things are positive with Jack."
Marlion Pickett, adductor"Marlion's chipping away at his fitness for next week. At this stage, he's probable for next week, but we'll make more of a call next week when we have our main session."
Tom Lynch, foot"(He pulled up) really well (from playing three quarters on Saturday). Tom's a pro, he's worked really hard the last few weeks... He'll fully train going into Round 1."
Robbie Tarrant, hip"He's going to get involved with some football on Sunday in our session, and he'll chip away at that. He's probably a couple of weeks away (from playing games), but things are looking better with Robbie."
Jacob Bauer, ankle"Jacob's commenced running outside in a straight line. He's going okay, things are on track for him to resume in the next few weeks."
Kaleb Smith, foot"Kaleb's really good, all his indicators have come good. He's out of the moon boot and he's going to resume some AlterG running tomorrow. After that, we'll progress to outside and see how we go."
Tom Brown, wrist"Tom's got a minor fracture in his wrist. He's going to participate in non-contact football skills. He's probably four to six weeks away from being able to have some contact. We'll keep him nice and fit between now and then and he'll be ready to go then."
Mate Colina, back"He's progressing well. He'll be looking to resume football skills in the next four to six weeks."
