Richmond midfielder Jack Graham will miss three to five weeks after injuring his quad in Tuesday’s Community Series clash against Collingwood.
Graham suffered the blow in the final minute of the clash at Ikon Park and scans have since confirmed the severity of the injury.

Richmond described Graham’s injury as a moderate quad strain and a five-week layoff could see him miss the club’s first four games of the 2024 AFL season.
The two-time premiership Tiger has played at least 20 games in each of the club’s last three campaigns.
Richmond begins their official season with an Opening Round clash against Gold Coast at Heritage Bank Stadium on Saturday, March 9.
If Graham misses five weeks, he could first become available for the club’s Round 4 clash which comes against St Kilda at Norwood Oval during Gather Round on Sunday, April 7.
