He was set to have scans on the injury, however its understood Richmond suspected a scaphoid injury which could leave Riewoldt sidelined for about two months.
The potential loss of their star forward would be a huge blow to the Tigers, who have already lost five-time All-Australian Alex Rance for the season with a knee injury.
Richmond have not played a game without at least one of Jack Riewoldt or Alex Rance in the side since round 9, 2009.
