Popular ruckman, Braydon Preuss, is also closing in on an AFL return as he increases his loads and is expected to return to full training next week following ongoing disc issues in his back.

Draftee Joe Fonti is also expected to return to full training next week following a minor glute strain.

Fellow draftee James Leake will continue to increase his training following a quad injury and is set to re-join the main group in a couple of weeks.

Veteran Callan Ward has also resumed running following his AC joint injury in round one as he looks to return to the field for his 300^th game this season.
