This is the kind back-and-forth that I generally try to avoid, but it's just too tempting. We have here a player who has seen limited playing time, so limited that it's going to be difficult to judge how good she will be. We also don't even have a baseline -- the level at which she will generally play, so we can see if she's above or below it. That's because the medical staff says she cannot play. And the writer's solution is to just toss her in the game and let her play through whatever it is that's wrong with her? Based on what knwoledge and observations?

Sorry, that sounds irresponsible and close to crazy to me.

If you've read previous posts there was ample medical explanation for the player to either be properly diagnosed and if she truly has only a bruise it is not an injury that would disqualify her from playing.

Geno commented on Tuck in the post game...He said she was a go until after yesterday's practice and he got a phone call from Rosemary (trainer)...she said Tuck was a no go. He seemed to think that with tomorrow off that Tuck will bounce back and be ready for Saturday.

Hope so but we will see.

Sounds like the trainer is not 100% certain of the situation and is erring on the cautious side. The player has had a more serious injury in the past and they are being careful with her. Don't need another Shea Ralph situation. I wish Washington was more careful with Robert Griffin lll.

I think Tuck needs to take a lesson from KML's playbook unless you are injured drop an ibuprofen and play tough. You bruise your knee every time you fall on it, so don't let opponents push you down.

Come on people, Morgan isn't playing because she isn't cleared to play, maybe she came back to soon, maybe it is more than they are telling us, who knows but obviously it isn't just "a bruise" that you or I may get. I'm sure Morgan REALLY wants to play and play as much as she can.

I had the opportunity to go play with her in high school, trust me when I say she is TOUGH. She definitely plays through tremendous pain, never complaining, etc. I don't doubt that is why she's out now, she was probably in pain way before letting anyone know it. I'll be glad when the rest of the boneyard gets to know Morgan Tuck and the fierce player she is that the midwest, and rest of the country has enjoyed for the past four years.
