Adelaide forward Taylor Walker will play before the club's mid-season bye in Round 12 as he recovers from a hamstring injury.
Walker injured his hamstring in the one-point Showdown win during the first quarter, but insisted it was only on the minor end.
"Just on the minor end, very, very minor so it should only be one to two weeks," Walker said on Triple M.
"That's the plan (to play before the bye) so we will see how we go over the week, over the next five to seven days."
The Crows have games against Richmond, North Melbourne and Hawthorn before the break.
Although Walker and Jordon Butts (groin) will miss the trip to the MCG against the Tigers, captain Jordan Dawson has been locked to return.
Dawson missed the Port Adelaide clash due to personal reasons following the passing of his older brother a few weeks ago.
"He'll be back this week the skipper," Walker said.
"The boys were absolutely chuffed to see him back at the footy club. We all love him and obviously been through a very challenging period for his family."
Nick Murray looms as the Butts replacement while Darcy Fogarty is tipped to return to replace Walker.
Murray produced a standout performance in the SANFL over the weekend as Fogarty continues to recover from a persistent back issue.
“We know what Fog brings,” Crows defender Wayne Milera said of the key forward.
“He brings his leadership and then his ability to play forward and kick goals for us and be that sort of focal point up there.
“But you know, if he doesn't come in this week, we've got plenty of boys that are waiting in the wings and they're playing good footy at SANFL level.”
