Walker sustained the injury in a collision with former No.1 draft pick David Swallow in the Crows' clash with Gold Coast last weekend.
The talented goalkicker protected the injury with his arm in a sling earlier in the week, but completed training on Thursday.
Caretaker coach Mark Bickley said the club was poised to name an unchanged team to take on the Tigers.
"Taylor got through yesterday's training session fairly well, so we expect him to take his spot in the side," Bickley said on Friday.
"We've been fortunate with injuries, which enables you to do that [name an unchanged team] but we've also been happy with what we've been seeing with the players, who have been playing."
The Crows have played a more attacking and instinctive style of game since Bickley replaced long-serving coach Neil Craig in round 19.
The club, which struggled to kick a winning score in the first half of the season, has broken the 100-point barrier in three of Bickley's four games in charge.
On Thursday, Richmond coach Damien Hardwick said his team's challenge would be to try and slow the Crows down.
"You don't have to be Einstein to look at our side over the last four weeks and what we've done," Bickley said in response to Hardwick's comments.
"He [Hardwick] has obviously identified that we're playing with speed and are looking to move the ball quickly.
"It's one thing to say that [they're going to slow us down] and another thing to be able to do that.
"Richmond like to move the ball quickly too and get it into Jack Riewoldt, and that will be part of our plans to try and stop that. Whether we do it successfully or not will be the question.
"The way they might have to go to be able to slow us down might mean they have to move a little bit away from their game plan."
Bickley has lost only one game, by 11 points to Grand Final fancies Geelong since stepping up as senior coach, but is not the favourite to succeed Craig.
That position is held by former Western Bulldogs coach Rodney Eade.
People power played a part in Paul Roos' appointment as coach of the Sydney Swans in 2003, and was also a factor in Port Adelaide's decision to choose Matthew Primus as the replacement for outgoing premiership coach Mark Williams.
Bickley, who is yet to publicly declare he wants the permanent position, said he wasn't fazed by the popularity contest being played out by supporters and the media.
"I think it's probably a mature approach from our supporter group. They want the best-possible person to coach the Adelaide Football Club next year," he said.
"How can they possibly know that's me, if they don't go out there and test the market? Whilst they may like what they are seeing at the moment, they would understand that there's a big difference between putting something together for six weeks at the end of the year and actually putting together a plan and vision that's actually going to carry over for the next three years, possibly.
The two-time premiership captain reaffirmed he would wait until the end of the season before making a decision on whether to pursue his dream of coaching an AFL club.
"I said to the players and the footy club that I would give my undivided attention to coaching for the next six weeks," he said.
"I don't want to waste any time pontificating or thinking too much about what might happen when I've got so much to do here and now. By the end of it, I'll have a clearer picture."
