Thursday coach Randy Edsall will be talking with local media and giving an update on the team's injuries.
Ryan Henegan, the Huskies' second-best linebacker coming into the season, has yet to play and practiced in full pads for the first time this week. His return will give the UConn four solid linebackers.
Local product Dan Ryan missed last week and from what I took out of Edsall's comments Tuesday, Ryan wasn't likely to play Saturday at Pitt. That's a shame because he is a major upgrade over Alex LaMagdelaine and quarterback Tyler Lorenzen is going to need as much help as possible on the line. If you saw the pressure Temple put on him last weekend, wait until you see what Pitt does.
If Lorenzen can get those quick, four-to-six yard dump passes going early and quickly transition into longer pass attempts down field, he should be able to force Pitt's defenders to back off and allow Donald Brown and Andre Dixon the chance to run for positive yardage.
