A premiership player at Hawthorn, Renouf's injury, combined with pre-season surgery to Matthew Lobbe's hip, had the Power's ruck stocks looking dangerously depleted.
But less than a week from the start of his club's NAB Cup campaign, Renouf has declared himself ‘ready to go’.
"I had a lighter preseason doing a fair bit of cross training and I've come into skills the last couple of weeks," Renouf said.
"I played on Friday in the trial match and played pretty well and felt good."
Renouf said he was likely to be used sparingly during the NAB Cup, with the Power's longer-term vision focused on their round one clash against St Kilda on April 1.
"I'm not going to do anything stupid between now and then, so that's what will happen over the NAB Cup," he said.
"We'll use it like most clubs use it for, get a good little hit-out, maybe two or three games, and then get ready for round one."
Matthew Lobbe won't line up for the Power in round one, but Renouf denied he would have to shoulder the ruck duties alone, calling out Jarrad Redden as one ready to step up.
"'Lobbes' will be ready to go in the first couple of rounds and we've got big Jarrad Redden up and running.
"He's going well, he's done most of the preseason, so all of us are going to contribute this year," he said.
The Power face Carlton first up on Sunday afternoon at 2.40pm.
