Boom Richmond recruit Chris Yarran (pictured) will be considered for thursday nights NAB challenge against Port Adelaide.

It was only three weeks ago that Tigers coach Damian Hardwick said that he expected Yarran to be unavailable for the first six weeks of the season after suffering a calf injury.

Yarran has put in an incredible amount of work since then on the injury and Hardwick says the way the Noongar mans injury is improving, it’s not out of the question that Yarran will line up on Thursday night.
