-> Monday night, Mora asked Bob Howard, UConn’s Associate Athletic Director for Athletic Training, about Ross. “He said, ‘if things go well this week he’s gonna be able to play a little bit,’” Mora recalled, providing Howard with a surprised “thank you.”
“He’s done an amazing job, our medical team, athletic trainers and specifically Cam – the way he’s worked to come back,” Mora said Tuesday. “There’s only so much you can do in the healing process but he healed, he stayed in shape, he stayed strong. He’s been moving around the field for two weeks and he’s most likely going to have an opportunity to do some things – I’m not saying he’s gonna get 40-50 plays, but there will be some things that hopefully he can do if things go as planned here on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday in practice.”
The road back isn’t all physical, either. He still has to pass Mora’s eye test. “You’ve got to look a kid in the eye, and you’ve got to see whether or not he has that true confidence to go out and play,” Mora said. “The last thing you want is someone who has an injury and then they put themselves in harm’s way. We’re gonna make sure they’re not just physically ready to play but they’re emotionally and mentally ready to play.” <-
