Richmond's Schulz sustains cracked rib
March 1, 2008 - 12:46PM
Richmond tall forward Jay Schulz sustained a cracked rib in the Tigers' AFL practice match win over Sydney, the club said.
Schulz was X-rayed on Saturday, after colliding with teammate Matthew Richardson during Richmond's 25-point win in Canberra on Friday night.
He will miss Friday's practice match against Geelong at Skilled Stadium, but should be available for the Tigers' season-opener against Carlton on March 20.
Two other players, tall defender Graham Polak (bruised heel) and ruckman Troy Simmonds (quad tightness) also had injury concerns.
But Simmonds has been cleared to play against the Cats, while Polak might miss that match, but will be available for round one.
