"Kalyn and Connor are going really well," Cupples told newcastleknights.com.au.
"Over the last week, they've been progressing their field running.
"Next week, they'll build into consecutive days of work, which is the next step in their return protocol.
"The following week – contact protocols, more integration with the group and then from the start of December, we should see both of those guys back with the main group."
Meanwhile, Jacob Saifiti is set to resume a full training load next week.
Saifiti missed half the season with a shoulder injury he suffered in May.
