Auburn quarterback T.J. Finley was charged Thursday with attempting to elude police, the same day Auburn players were scheduled to report to campus for preseason camp.
According to police officials, Finley was released Thursday from the Lee County Detention Center. An Auburn official told ESPN that the university was aware of Finley's situation and that he was back in the football complex Thursday. Auburn coach Bryan Harsin is scheduled to meet with the media later Thursday afternoon. The Tigers open practice on Friday.
Sources told ESPN that Finley's charge involved an earlier incident involving his failure to wear a helmet while riding a moped.
