Graham Johncock has been cleared of any major structural damage to his left shoulder.

Johncock and Andrew McLeod are both nursing AC joint sprains from Sunday night’s win over Richmond. At this early stage neither has been ruled out of Saturday’s game against North Melbourne at Etihad Stadium, although the six-day break could count against them.

Johncock, who crashed heavily after a marking contest late in Sunday’s game against Richmond, was taken to hospital after the game but given the all-clear after X-rays.
McLeod hurt his shoulder early in the game but was able to continue.

The Crows could have several players come off the injury list in the next two weeks.
Patrick Dangerfield (hand), Ricky Henderson (hamstring) and James Sellar (hamstring) may be available this week, along with 2009 draftee Sam Shaw, who has not played a game this season because of shin soreness. He has been back on the training track for the past fortnight.

David Mackay (groin) is likely to miss one more game and Brad Symes (knee) is expected to rejoin the main training group later this week. Chris Knights (foot) remains on the indefinite list at this stage.

Midfielder Rory Sloane, who injured an ankle in the opening round against Fremantle, returned in the SANFL on Saturday.
