CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) North Carolina started preseason practice with suspended cornerback Malik Simmons returning to the team.
Coach Larry Fedora said Monday he reinstated Simmons and will ”wait and see this thing play out.”
Simmons was suspended from all football-related activities July 24, after he was arrested earlier that week in Chapel Hill on a resisting arrest charge. He also was arrested May 16 on a misdemeanor charge of marijuana possession.
He had been due in court Monday but a spokeswoman for the Orange County clerk of court’s office said that court appearance is now scheduled for Thursday.
The 21-year-old went through drills in shorts and a helmet along with the rest of his teammates during the Tar Heels’ first practice.
