Tom Edwards suffered a hamstring strain in the VFL’s loss to North Melbourne on the weekend and is expected to miss the next 3-4 weeks.
Mid-season draftee Jaxon Artemis pulled up with hamstring soreness and will be a test for this week.
Peter Wright and Liam McMahon will both be closely monitored throughout the week, with both players a chance to return this weekend.
Archie Roberts and Zak Johnson are on track to return next week, while Kyle Langford and Rhys Unwin are expected to be available in two weeks' time.
The quartet of Andy McGrath, Jye Caldwell, Isaac Kako and Darcy Parish all pulled up well from their AFL returns over the weekend. From the VFL game, Angus Clarke, Matt Guelfi and Vigo Visentini also got through successfully.
Essendon look to bounce back against St Kilda at Marvel Stadium from 3:15pm AEST this Sunday.
