The former Rotherham defender has not yet played under Paul Sturrock although it is unlikely he will be risked for the game with Barnsley on Sunday.
With Hansay Aljoffree back at Plymouth, Sturrock may be forced into the loan market to get some defensive cover.
Apart from Lee Peacock, who is out until December, most of the injured players in the squad are on the road back to fitness, including defenders Richard Wood, Paul Heckingbottom and Graeme Lee.
Meanwhile, former Owls striker Christian Mayrleb scored and set up one of Markus Schopp's two goals in Austria's 3-3 draw with Northern Ireland last night.
Chris Brunt though did not make it onto the bench and will have to wait for his chance to impress Lawrie Sanchez.
