ADELAIDE veteran Taylor Walker is set to miss the next few weeks after straining his hamstring in Friday night's Showdown.

Walker sustained the injury in the first quarter and didn't play any further part in the one-point win over Port Adelaide.

A scan has confirmed the 36-year-old suffered a low-grade hamstring strain.

Jordon Butts is also unlikely to play again before the Crows' bye in round 12 due to an adductor strain.

The Crows squared the win-loss ledger at 4-4 after round eight.

They will host North Melbourne in round 10 then face Hawthorn at UTAS Stadium before their mid-season bye at the end of May.
