No, no, he wasn't breaking her knee in the middle of the assessment!
When he felt her starting to push up, he grabbed the back of her plantsuit at her neck and pulled, both to compensate for her sideways motion and to throw her off-balance. If she reflexively tried to pull herself out of his grip, the pull would become a push to turn that motion into another pin, this time of her upper-body. If she moved sideways or against it, he'd plant a knee in her back and bend her like a U around it.
He had no idea that she was more accustomed to fighting in freefall, so thus far, Morgan thought her self-control and refusal to surrender was quite effective and she had nothing to worry about.
