The defender copped a heavy knock in the last quarter of the Bombers' clash with Carlton, but has recovered well.
"He got hit by the old friendly fire of Stants' (Brent Stanton) knee and had a really nasty laceration,” Essendon doctor Bruce Reid said told the club's website.
"He had a minor concussion. He didn’t lose consciousness but he got a fair whack, but has come up really well.
"All the things that matter to us are things like headaches, tiredness and fatigue but that is all clear.
"We will do the computer test on him today (Tuesday) and he will need to pass that to play."
The Bombers have confirmed midfielder David Myers will make his return after missing last week with the flu.
"He had high fevers that came on late last week and he is better today so he will be fine."
Key-forward Jake Carlisle has previously been ruled out with a hamstring strain.
