Australia captain Tim Paine said replacing Steve Smith's runs is a collective responsibility as the Ashes series heads into the third Test at Headingley on Thursday.
Smith, whose Test average of 63.24 is bettered only by the great Don Bradman in the all-time list, was ruled out at Headingley because of concussion after taking a blow to the neck from a Jofra Archer bumper at Lord's.
Marnus Labuschagne stepped in as international cricket's first concussion substitute and performed commendably in Smith's absence, registering a 100-ball 59 as the tourists secured a draw to preserve their 1-0 series lead.
Labuschagne is almost certain to keep his place and Paine said the batsman alone cannot bear the brunt of the hole left by Smith.
"We do it as a team. There aren't too many guys, there's only one other, that have averaged higher than Steve in Test cricket," the wicketkeeper said.
"Clearly they are huge shoes to fill and we don't put all that pressure on Marnus. Marnus comes in to play a role in our team and it's up to everyone else, particularly our senior players, to just make sure we give that little bit more output and cover Steve as best we can."
Smith started the series with hundreds in both innings at Edgbaston, only the fifth Australian to do so in an Ashes encounter, so his absence is a blow for Australia.
Asked about his recovery schedule, Paine said: "In terms of his next week, I'm not too sure. I think he'll probably just lightly build up as the week goes on and he'll be continually monitored.
"If he keeps progressing well then I guess he starts batting straight away and full training with a view to playing as quickly as possible if everything goes well.
"There's a strong medical process in place and Steve's got to tick a lot of boxes to make sure he's ready to go and our medical staff are then comfortable with him playing."
Roy cleared to play
England also had their own concussion concerns to deal with after batsman Jason Roy was hit in the nets.
The 29-year-old was struck by a throw-down from former international Marcus Trescothick, who is working with the team in a temporary capacity, during practice on Tuesday.
Roy was assessed after impact and was able to continue batting, but also required a follow-up check on the eve of the match to determine any delayed symptoms.
Roy will undergo a further check on the morning of the match, the England and Wales Cricket Board indicated, but is now expected to take his place at the top of the order.
Surrey's Ollie Pope will travel to Leeds, having been placed on standby in the event of Roy being ruled out. Pope, who played two Tests last summer, has just scored an unbeaten 221 against Hampshire so arrives in ideal form.
England are not expecting Roy to miss out but, given a small percentage of concussions present themselves 48 hours after impact, all bases are being covered.
England captain Joe Root does not anticipate any deterioration in Roy's condition, with Pope's call-up merely a case of preparing for the worst-case scenario.
"Jason has been monitored quite closely, as you'd expect, he's undergone a couple of concussion tests and come through them well," he said. "As it stands we fully expect him to be fit and ready for [Thursday]."

What is graphene?
Graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms arranged like honeycomb.
It was discovered in 2004, when Russian-born Manchester scientists Andrei Geim and Kostya Novoselov were "playing about" with sticky tape and graphite - the material used as "lead" in pencils.
Placing the tape on the graphite and peeling it, they managed to rip off thin flakes of carbon. In the beginning they got flakes consisting of many layers of graphene. But as they repeated the process many times, the flakes got thinner.
By separating the graphite fragments repeatedly, they managed to create flakes that were just one atom thick. Their experiment had led to graphene being isolated for the very first time.
At the time, many believed it was impossible for such thin crystalline materials to be stable. But examined under a microscope, the material remained stable, and when tested was found to have incredible properties.
It is many times times stronger than steel, yet incredibly lightweight and flexible. It is electrically and thermally conductive but also transparent. The world's first 2D material, it is one million times thinner than the diameter of a single human hair.
But the 'sticky tape' method would not work on an industrial scale. Since then, scientists have been working on manufacturing graphene, to make use of its incredible properties.
In 2010, Geim and Novoselov were awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics. Their discovery meant physicists could study a new class of two-dimensional materials with unique properties.

UAE currency: the story behind the money in your pockets
Top investing tips for UAE residents in 2021
Build an emergency fund: Make sure you have enough cash to cover six months of expenses as a buffer against unexpected problems before you begin investing, advises Steve Cronin, the founder of DeadSimpleSaving.com.
Think long-term: When you invest, you need to have a long-term mindset, so don’t worry about momentary ups and downs in the stock market.
Invest worldwide: Diversify your investments globally, ideally by way of a global stock index fund.
Is your money tied up: Avoid anything where you cannot get your money back in full within a month at any time without any penalty.
Skip past the promises: “If an investment product is offering more than 10 per cent return per year, it is either extremely risky or a scam,” Mr Cronin says.
Choose plans with low fees: Make sure that any funds you buy do not charge more than 1 per cent in fees, Mr Cronin says. “If you invest by yourself, you can easily stay below this figure.” Managed funds and commissionable investments often come with higher fees.
Be sceptical about recommendations: If someone suggests an investment to you, ask if they stand to gain, advises Mr Cronin. “If they are receiving commission, they are unlikely to recommend an investment that’s best for you.”
Get financially independent: Mr Cronin advises UAE residents to pursue financial independence. Start with a Google search and improve your knowledge via expat investing websites or Facebook groups such as SimplyFI.
