Key defender Griffin Logue is closing on a return to action, but will need to pass a fitness test if he's to head to Adelaide to face the Crows on Sunday afternoon.
Logue missed Sunday's win over Melbourne due to a minor hamstring strain he suffered in the Kangaroos' Round 1 clash with the Western Bulldogs.
Head of performance Kevin White said Logue would be assessed ahead of Thursday's main training session.
"There will be a few strength markers that Griffin will need to clear to be able to put his hand up to enter unrestricted, full training," White said.
Midfielder George Wardlaw's recovery from a hamstring injury is progressing well after "a really strong week", White said.
Wardlaw joined select training drills with the main group of players before completing a high-loading football conditioning session at Arden Street on Sunday morning.
In the next two weeks, the young onballer will look to train in full with the main group, while also undertaking game-loading conditioning to set up a strong base for an eventual return to action.

"Josh will maintain his on-field conditioning program away from the main group with a strong focus on ticking off his higher-level strength markers,' White said.
"We can't put an accurate timeframe on it (his return) until this is achieved, but once his hamstring strength has returned to the required level, he'll follow Wardlaw's plan of reintegration into the main group train for two-to-three weeks before returning to play."
Brayden George (knee) is tracking well as he builds his training loads while working on his agility deficiencies before an offsite re-test in a few weeks.
"If he passes through this, he will enter main group training unrestricted and complete game-loading footy conditioning sessions for three-to-four weeks in preparation for his return," White said.
Callum Coleman-Jones (Achilles) is building his running loads while continuing to tackle his calf strength work in the gym. His return remains slated for around May-June.
