Test to return
Atkins is listed as a test for Round 21 against GWS, according to Mitch Cleary of AFL.com.
ANALYSIS
Atkins was a late withdrawal from Round 20 against North Melbourne and shouldn't be out for long. As his replacement Zach Guthrie starred in the win, Atkins may have more work to do if he wishes to play, even if fit.

Late scratch Saturday
Atkins was a late scratch for Saturday's game against North Melbourne for an unspecified reason.
ANALYSIS
Atkins had appeared in every game to begin the year, and the Cats didn't give a reason for his removal from Saturday's lineup. Zach Guthrie will replace him against North Melbourne.

Good to go
Atkins (undisclosed) has been cleared to take part in Thursday's qualifying finals match versus the Power, Mitch Cleary of AFL Media (via the Cats' official site) reports.
ANALYSIS
Atkins sat out the home-and-away finale versus the Swans, but the added rest has allowed him to get right ahead of the finals. He will presumably feature in the Cats' midfield again.

Unavailable Sunday
Atkins is out for Sunday's Round 18 match with the Swans.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear as to what is forcing Atkins out of competition for Sunday as the Cats midfielder will need to shift his focus to getting healthy for the playoffs with his squad already having clinched a spot.

Returning to AFL side
Atkins (ribs) is in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus North Melbourne, Tom Collings of the Cats' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Atkins sat for more than a month due to the ribs issue but finally appears right and will be part of a major influx of previous absences for the Cats this week. Atkins is slotted in as a half forward for the contest alongside Brad Close and Tom Hawkins.
