Bryce Gibbs' AFL exile has lasted just one week, with Adelaide recalling the veteran onballer for their clash with Gold Coast.

But Josh Jenkins has paid the price for his poor start to the season, the Crows dropping him and Myles Poholke for the Adelaide Oval clash on Sunday.

Chayce Jones was named in the extended squad but won't play in Eddie Betts' 300th AFL match as he continues to suffer concussion symptoms from a clash with North Melbourne's Luke McDonald.

Hugh Greenwood and Elliott Himmelberg are the other two inclusions for Don Pyke's side that is desperate to get their 1-3 season headed in the right direction.

The Suns regained George Horlin-Smith and Will Brodie, who replace injured duo Will Powell and Anthony Miles.

The Western Bulldogs take on Carlton at Marvel Stadium in Sunday's other match, with the Dogs bringing in Bailey Williams, Will Hayes and Lachie Young.

Taylor Duryea and Matt Suckling are injured, while Josh Schache has been dropped.

Matthew Kreuzer is in for his first game of the season for the Blues, and is joined by Cameron Polson and Jack Silvagni.

Matthew Lobbe and Levi Casboult were dropped with Will Setterfield suspended.
