The Hawks had hoped Jiath would resume in the VFL on Saturday after recovering from the hamstring injury that hobbled him in February.
But after a solid week of training, he was a late withdrawal because of a quad strain.
The 24-year-old has played 45 games since his 2019 debut, never managing more than 16 games in a season.
The speedy wingman and halfback only played eight last year thanks to calf and Achilles problems.
He spent time at a sports medicine facility in Qatar during the off-season as the Hawks tried to rid him of his soft-tissue injuries.
