Freshman Morgan Tuck limited in Thursday's UConn practice
Freshman Morgan Tuck was limited to riding a stationary bike during the portion of Thursday's practice which was open to the media.
However, before alarm bells start going off it should be noted that limiting her practice time was an intentional move so Tuck doesn't have any further issues with the right knee bone bruise more than a signal that she is having issues with her knee. She was able to take part in drills before we were allowed in to witness the final portion of practice.
"She was in there for a few stretches, it is kind of how we are trying to proceed with Caroline (Doty) and Morgan (Tuck), give them just enough reps that they feel like they have a chance to improve and get better and make sure we don't keep them out there too long so little by little hopefully we will have them ready to go come game days."
Doty, who has been dealing with knee issues throughout her career, said missing practice time periodically is all part of the deal.
"It is a long season, it comes with age but I come out every single day ready to do what I can and take care of myself before I can before and after practice and I want to be 100 percent for game time," Doty said.
