Geelong star Tom Stewart ran laps and completed sprint run throughs away from the main group at the Cats’ light Tuesday session as he pushes to return for his side’s clash with GWS on Sunday,

Stewart has been dealing with a posterior cruciate ligament concern since round two and the Cats opted to rest him for their epic win over Collingwood.

The five-time All-Australian had strapping around his knee and didn’t take part in drills at GMHBA Stadium, while Gryan Miers trained with the main group after missing the last two matches with concussion.

Tom Stewart ran laps and completed sprint run throughs away from the main group at Geelong's light session on Tuesday. Rhys Stanley also did some light running in a positive sign after his hamstring injury.

Miers also completed Geelong’s main session last Thursday with ease in a non-contact cap.

Geelong coach Chris Scott said post-match that Jack Henry was a “chance” to return against GWS on Sunday but he was part of the rehab group early in the session.

Henry also made up some of the numbers for the ‘B’ side in a light match simulation drill.

Ruckman Rhys Stanley was subbed out at quarter time on Saturday night with a hamstring injury but the 34-year-old completed light running off to the side.

Geelong tall Sam De Koning said Stewart and Henry were “tracking well” but he was unsure of timelines for the defensive pair or Stanley.

“It’s been good to see them out there running and working on their bodies and trying to get fit and ready to put their hand up for selection,” De Koning said.

“So they look like they’re moving well and I’m not too sure on the timeframes of either of them, but they’ve been looking good and been happy around the club and supporting the boys.”

In-form captain Patrick Dangerfield was off to the side for some of the session but the Cats often manage his training load.

The Cats revealed on Sunday that Lawson Humphries entered concussion protocols post-game after receiving a further head injury assessment.

In a positive sign of progress, injury-riddled trio Cam Guthrie (Achilles), Toby Conway (back) and Jack Martin (management) also took part in match simulation.

Geelong will release it’s official injury update at 5pm on Tuesday.
