Essendon could potentially have Archie Roberts (shoulder) and Zak Johnson (foot) available for selection for their round 18 fixture against Brisbane.
The duo’s availability will be subject to getting through main training on Thursday.
Kyle Langford (quad), Rhys Unwin (hamstring), and Kayle Gerreyn (knee soreness) all remain a week away from their return from their respective injuries.
Peter Wright successfully got through his return match against the Saints last Sunday, while Liam McMahon marked his VFL comeback game with four goals.
Mid-season draftee, Jaxon Artemis will also be available after missing a week with hamstring soreness.
The Dons take on the Lions from the Gabba at 4:40pm AEST on Sunday.
