Luke Metcalf, a halfback for the New Zealand Warriors, is now expected to return by rounds seven or eight of the NRL season.
Initially, his comeback was projected for rounds eight to ten, but he has resumed full team training following knee surgery.
New recruit Jye Linnane, recovering from a knee injury, aims to be back by round four.
Additionally, second rower Marata Niukore has cleared his injury and will be available for the Warriors' round two match against the Canberra Raiders this Friday.
Meanwhile, the injury statuses of Mitchell Barnett, Rocco Berry, and Te Maire Martin remain unchanged.
