Champion defender Shannon Hurn and premiership forward Jamie Cripps are in the mix to make their comebacks from injury against St Kilda on Sunday.
However, there is disappointing news for injury-plagued star Elliot Yeo, who is set to miss three-to-four weeks due to a hip concern sustained late in the tough loss to Sydney.
Hurn (hamstring) is in line to play his first game since round 12 against Collingwood, while Cripps only needs to get through training to make a long-awaited return from a fractured ankle sustained in round three.
Emerging tall forward Jack Williams (ankle) and youngster Jordyn Baker (hamstring) are also tests to play this weekend, however star defender Jeremy McGovern is at least one more week away.
“Shannon has worked through his rehab program from his hamstring and we’ve taken an extra week than we might otherwise to give him a really good build into this week’s game – he’s just got to get through training this week to be available this weekend,” Head of Health Mark Finucane told westcoasteagles.com.au.
“Jamie has done an outstanding job after his ankle fracture and has done a mountain of work and has integrated really comfortably into his football work and contact. If he has a good week at training this week we hope to see him on the weekend out there.
“Jeremy pulled up a little bit tight after training last week. We’re just letting that settle down and then will build his way through training this week and then we’ll have a clearer picture about when he’s likely to return.
“The MRI (Williams) had has shown some ligament damage but nothing else internally, which is good.
“He’s been really good getting the swelling down and icing. We’ll give him as late as possible to test his availability for this weekend.”
Yeo underwent scans on a sore hip from the Swans match and was on light duties at training on Tuesday.
“Elliot reported tightness in the front of his hip towards the latter stage of the game … and subsequently has had an MRI that has shown he has got a bit of irritation around his hip flexor on his left side,” Finucane said.
“He’s struggled to get moving at the start of this week and we’ll just need to let that settle down and then build through the rehabilitation for that.”
Samo Petrevski-Seton was another casualty from the Sydney clash after straining a quad early in the match.
“Samo had tightness in his quadricep early in the game, so was restricted in his function but was able to help the rotation with minutes,” Finucane said.
“He has actually pulled up OK from the game but he does have a strain on scan so he’ll miss the next couple of weeks.”
The Eagles hope to regain defender Tom Cole (ankle), ruck Callum Jamieson (hip), backman Luke Foley (hamstring), forward Isiah Winder (knee) and midfielder Greg Clark (foot) in coming weeks.
Jake Waterman remains at home resting and receiving treatment for his medical condition, while Liam Ryan is looking more unlikely than likely to return this year following hamstring surgery.
“Liam has had a number of investigations and review with specialists because he hasn’t progressed as we would’ve liked, so we’re collating all that information and we’ll put that together over the next week or two and make the next phase for Liam’s progress from there,” Finucane said.

Check out your club's injury updates ahead of round 16.
PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN Tom Doedee Knee Season Andrew McPherson Quad 5 weeks Nick Murray Hamstring Test Zac Taylor Foot 5-7 weeksUpdated: June 27, 2023
Early prognosis
Murray received a cork to his hamstring in a marking contest against Collingwood, with scans revealing no strain. The area is heavily bruised, however, and the defender will progress from pool recovery to mid-week running before determining his availability this week. – Nathan Schmook
PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN Nakia Cockatoo Hamstring 1-2 weeks Tom Fullarton Hamstring 2-3 weeks Jack Gunston Managed TBC Rhys Mathieson Hamstring 3 weeks Carter Michael Quad 3 weeks Daniel Rich Managed TBC Dayne Zorko Calf TestUpdated: June 27, 2023
Early prognosis
Zorko was put through his paces at Tuesday's main training session, but the Lions are yet to decide whether he'll be available to face Richmond on Thursday night. Mathieson jogged a number of laps on Tuesday before joining the main group, while Rich and Gunston also did quite a bit of running on their own as they now enter week three of a training block. – Michael Whiting
PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN Matt Cottrell Suspension Round 17 Corey Durdin Knee 2-3 weeks Sam Durdin Hamstring Test Ollie Hollands Collarbone 4 weeks Caleb Marchbank Soreness Test Alex Mirkov Heart Season Sam Philp Foot Season Zac Williams Knee SeasonUpdated: June 27, 2023
Early prognosis
The Blues should regain Marchbank, who has missed the last few weeks with ankle soreness. Durdin and Hollands could still be around a month away. Cottrell is suspended. – Riley Beveridge
PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN Charlie Dean Foot Season Brayden Maynard Shoulder Test Dan McStay Finger 2 weeks Steele Sidebottom Knee 2-3 weeksUpdated: June 27, 2023
Early prognosis
Collingwood almost has a full list to choose from. Jordan De Goey has one more week of his suspension to serve. Steele Sidebottom is at least a fortnight away from recovering from an MCL injury. Brayden Maynard copped a late blow to his shoulder on the weekend, but didn’t have a scan and trained on Tuesday. The All-Australian defender is expected to be available for the trip to the Gold Coast. - Josh Gabelich

Early prognosis
The Bombers are again set to be without Draper, while Zerk-Thatcher suffered an adductor injury late in the side's loss to Fremantle. There was a back concern for Hunter last week and Reid's return from a hamstring injury was delayed at VFL level. – Dejan Kalinic
PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN James Aish Back Test Heath Chapman Hamstring Test Matt Taberner Back TBCUpdated: June 27, 2023
Early prognosis
Chapman has progressed quickly in the past fortnight and is on track to play restricted minutes in the WAFL this weekend if he gets through training. Aish is planning to train fully and push for selection against the Western Bulldogs after a back injury delayed his return from concussion. Matthew Johnson (cork) and Alex Pearce (lower leg) have been cleared to play this week after ending the win against Essendon with concerns. Sean Darcy and Michael Frederick have pulled up well after returning from hamstring and ankle injuries respectively. – Nathan Schmook

Simpson underwent hand surgery and won't be available in the coming weeks, while Guthrie is out of the moonboot on Friday and eyeing a return late in the season. – Josh Gabelich
PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN Joel Jeffrey Foot 6 weeks Touk Miller Knee 1 weekUpdated: June 27, 2023
Early prognosis
Miller is back to full training, although the Suns say they will still be cautious and the dual All-Australian won't be available for Saturday's match against Collingwood. Jeffrey is likely to be back before the end of the season. – Michael Whiting
PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN Brent Daniels Hamstring 1-2 weeks Phil Davis Calf Test Jason Gillbee Concussion Test Cooper Hamilton Foot TBC Darcy Jones Knee Season Adam Kennedy Knee Season Braydon Preuss Back TBC Lachie Whitfield Suspension Round 17Updated: June 27, 2023
Early prognosis
The Giants don't expect Daniels to be fit just yet, but Nick Haynes (ankle) and Jesse Hogan (calf) have recovered over the bye and should play. Davis and Gillbee are also likely to return, but expect that to be at VFL level. Whitfield is suspended. – Riley Beveridge

Early prognosis
Oliver was sent for follow-up scans on his niggling hamstring strain and subsequently has been ruled out this week.

McDonald is integrating running into his rehab this week following ankle surgery last month but is still 4-6 weeks away. – Alison O'Connor
PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN Aiden Bonar Knee 2-3 weeks Charlie Comben Ankle 4 weeks Luke Davies-Uniacke Hamstring Test Brayden George Knee Season Josh Goater Knee Test Jack Mahony Shoulder SeasonUpdated: June 27, 2023
Early prognosis
The Kangaroos will be hopeful that Davies-Uniacke can return, having sufficiently recovered from a hamstring injury. Goater is a chance at playing this weekend, but will likely make his comeback through the VFL. – Riley Beveridge
PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN Tom Clurey Back 4 weeks Xavier Duursma Knee Test Orazio Fantasia Hamstring Test Mitch Georgiades Knee Season Lachie Jones Jaw 2 weeks Brynn Teakle Foot 6-8 weeksUpdated: June 27, 2023
Early prognosis
Some good news with Duursma in line to play his first footy since round seven, pending getting through training, while Jones is on track for a round 18 return. Clurey is not progressing as fast as first hoped and is still a month away. – Michael Whiting

Early prognosis
The Saints' injury list is getting shorter the longer the season progresses. Clark will resume full training this week and is closing in on a return next weekend after suffering his MCL injury against Hawthorn in round 11. Membrey is still at least a month away as he works his way back from the knee issues that have plagued him in 2023. – Josh Gabelich
PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN Lance Franklin Knee Test Peter Ladhams Ankle 1-3 weeks Paddy McCartin Concussion Season Sam Reid Hamstring Season Matt Roberts Knee 1-3 weeks Marc Sheather Foot Season Sam Wicks Suspension Round 17Updated: June 27, 2023
Early prognosis
Much has improved on the injury front for the Swans, with Isaac Heeney, Logan McDonald and Callum Mills returning last week, while Tom McCartin played in the VFL. Franklin could also be back to face the Cats. Will Hayward is also available after being a late withdrawal from last week's thrashing of West Coast due to illness. – Dejan Kalinic
PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN Jordyn Baker Hamstring Test Coby Burgiel Hamstring 7-8 weeks Greg Clark Foot 2-3 weeks Tom Cole Ankle 2-3 weeks Jamie Cripps Ankle Test Jai Culley Knee Season Harry Edwards Groin 7-8 weeks Luke Foley Hamstring 1 week Shannon Hurn Hamstring Test Callum Jamieson Hip 2 weeks Jamaine Jones Ankle 6-7 weeks Jeremy McGovern Hamstring 1-2 weeks Nic Naitanui Achilles Season Samo Petrevski-Seton Quad 2-3 weeks Josh Rotham Thumb 5 weeks Liam Ryan Hamstring TBC Jake Waterman Illness Indefinite Connor West Knee TBC Jack Williams Ankle Test Isiah Winder Knee 2-3 weeks Elliot Yeo Hip 3-4 weeksUpdated: June 27, 2023
Early prognosis
Yeo experienced tightness late in the Eagles' loss to Sydney and underwent scans, which revealed irritation on his hip flexor on the left side. The midfielder will spend a third stint on the sidelines this season. Waterman has been diagnosed with Ulcerative colitis, an inflammatory bowel disease that has put his season in doubt while he undergoes further testing and treatment. McGovern suffered a small setback in his push to play last week, with the key defender expected to miss one more match. Ryan looks likely to join Culley and Naitanui soon in being ruled out for the season. Hurn is not yet certain to join Jamie Cripps in coming off the injury list and playing this week after a light session on Tuesday. – Nathan Schmook
PLAYER INJURY ESTIMATED RETURN Dom Bedendo Groin Test Hayden Crozier Hamstring 7-9 weeks Sam Darcy Jaw Test Harvey Gallagher Finger 2-3 weeks Riley Garcia Groin Test Jason Johannisen Hamstring 3-4 weeks Liam Jones Arm 7-9 weeks Toby McLean Back 3-5 weeks Tim O'Brien Hamstring 7-9 weeks Ed Richards Hamstring 2-3 weeks Roarke Smith Foot IndefiniteUpdated: June 27, 2023
Early prognosis
The Dogs have returned from the bye and will focus on how to replace Liam Jones and Tim O’Brien this weekend. Sam Darcy could be right to resume his season after fracturing his jaw in the VFL. Ed Richards has returned from the week away in great condition and is pushing to return next Friday night against Collingwood, although he might need another week. Jason Johannisen is still at least a few weeks away. – Josh Gabelich
*Placed on the club's long-term injury list
Guys with injury histories are more likely to injure other body parts due to the mechanics being out of sync. Not necessarily a hip flexor (although possibly). But I don’t think anyone would say Yeo is robust.. so him missing games due to injury being a high likelihood shouldn’t mean the type of injury matters. The knock on him is he missed games.. Lo and behold, he’s missing more games.
