Essendon utility Nik Cox has been cleared of any major damage to his hamstring following Saturday's Dreamtime at the 'G.

After being subbed out at quarter-time, Cox had scans yesterday on his hamstring, which pleasingly showed no strain. The 22-year-old will be monitored through the week, but the club expects his symptoms to resolve quite quickly.

Essendon will provide a further update in the club's injury report released tomorrow afternoon.
