Adelaide forward Josh Jenkins is consulting club medicos after having knee scans following a graphic AFL injury.

Jenkins has avoided a season-ending anterior cruciate ligament tear but still faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines after being hurt in Thursday night’s win against Richmond.

The 30-year-old’s right knee dramatically hyper-extended in the last minute of the game.

“Sometimes those hyper-extensions can look awful but you get out of it pretty well,” Jenkins told reporters before he had scans on Friday.

The scan results are being examined by doctors as the Crows also sweat on the prognosis of injured defensive duo Daniel Talia and Jake Kelly.

The two backmen were forced out of the latter stages of Adelaide’s 33-point triumph against the Tigers with Talia troubled by a thigh injury and Kelly battling calf soreness.

Adelaide’s forward pocket Lachlan Murphy was also taken out of the match after having three teeth dislodged in a collision with his co-captain Taylor Walker in the opening term.

The Crows have their midseason bye next weekend after climbing to fourth spot on the ladder by downing an undermanned Richmond.

The Tigers, missing a dozen injured frontliners, put up a brave fight before Adelaide kicked the last five goals of the match.

“Late in the game we broke away and I thought in the last quarter we played the footy we wanted to play so it was very pleasing,” Adelaide midfielder Matt Crouch told reporters on Friday.

“(The bye) comes at a good time for the boys.

“We’re in a good position now to launch into the second half of the season.

“The next three or four weeks sets up our season really so we’re looking forward to that.”

After their bye, the Crows travel to play Geelong then meet arch rival Port Adelaide ahead of fixtures against Gold Coast, Essendon, Carlton and St Kilda.
