GIANTS star Josh Kelly recovered well from last week's return game against Essendon, but the GIANTS will continue to keep a close eye on their gun midfielder.
Kelly missed six weeks with a groin issue and while he took some time to work into the clash with the Bombers, he finished the night with 29 possessions, eight inside
Coach Leon Cameron said the 2017 Sheedy Medallist and All Australian has had a light week on the track ahead of Sunday's important game against the Crows in Adelaide, but the club is happy with where Kelly is at physically.
"He's not out of the woods and we've got to continue to look at his training loads," he said.
"We were really rapt with how he performed, having six weeks off is always tough and it probably takes you two or three weeks to get into a rhythm.

Cameron said he's more concerned with his own team's effort than what Adelaide might bring.
"The main focus for us is to string together a consistent four quarters," he said.
