He will return to full training this week and will be available for selection.

Taylor Adams started his rehab conservatively with straight line running and progressed into a testing period last week, with more skills and team training.

He completed part of Friday’s match simulation and pulled up well.

Pending his completion of Thursday’s main session he is expected to be fit and available for Saturday’s clash with Geelong.
