Riley Knight has been sidelined with an Achilles tendon injury, he will miss the Marsh Series.
Knight won’t participate in full training for several weeks, he will almost certainly miss several early games in the 2020 H&A season.
“After completing most of the pre-season, Riley will not complete competitive loads for 3-4 weeks” Crows Head of Science and Medicine Steve Saunders.
Knight averaged 14.3 Disposals, 4.6 Marks & 3.7 Tackles from 15 games in 2019, he has played in 60.9% of games since the beginning of the 2017 H&A season.

The injury for Knight will open the door for an extra opportunity at the Crows early in the season, Ned McHenry & Chayce Jones are every chance to play in Round 1.
Knight is a pass in classic & likely a target from the waiver wire when he regains full fitness as a bench option.
