Nathan Drummond's AFL debut lasted less than two quarters and dealt him a season-ending knee reconstruction.
After more than a season out, the 20-year-old Richmond midfielder will make his senior comeback in Sunday's match against Hawthorn at the MCG.
Drummond injured his knee in the second quarter of the round-four game last season against Melbourne.
The Tigers also recalled Reece Conca, while Brett Deledio has a calf muscle injury and Connor Menadue was dropped.
The in-form Hawks recalled Tim O'Brien for Angus Litherland.
