Veteran defender Dale Morris will not require surgery on a fractured fibula sustained in the final minutes of the Western Bulldogs' win over Collingwood on Friday night.

Head Physiotherapist/Medical Services Manager Chris Bell said although surgery was not needed, Morris's rehabilitation will not be rushed. 

"He will be managed conservatively, and at the moment we are thinking he will miss about eight weeks of football,” Bell said.

Meanwhile, forward Tory Dickson pulled up sore after the Bulldogs' VFL practice match against Collingwood.

"Tory developed some abdominal pain after the game on the weekend. We will manage this over the next three or four weeks, and reassess his return to play after this date."

There was better news for Josh Prudden, who has made a full recovery from the knee injury he suffered last year, with Bell telling westernbulldogs.com.au that Prudden would be available for VFL selection this weekend.

"He's been really good in the final stages of his rehabilitation, and it's great to have Josh back available."

Midfielder Mitch Wallis continues to track well, with a resumption of full training not far away.

"Mitch Wallis has been in a modified training model for the last couple of weeks and he's going to be resuming full training with the squad in the next two to three weeks. 

Bell said he expected Wallis to be available for selection in the next five to six weeks.
