Edwards cleared of serious damage richmondfc.com.au
March 11, 2016Richmond small-forward Shane Edwards has been cleared of major damage to his shoulder following his early exit from last night’s NAB Challenge match against Port Adelaide at Etihad Stadium.
Edwards left the game in the first quarter after hurting his shoulder, but the injury is not as severe as first thought.
X-rays last night revealed no fractures, and further scans on Friday morning indicate the 27-year-old suffered severe bruising and some nerve swelling to his left shoulder.
“Shane should recover quickly from the bruising, we’ll assess it further early next week, but at this stage we’re confident his preparation for Round 1 won’t be interrupted,” Richmond’s General Manager of Football, Dan Richardson said.
