Two-year starting quarterback Shai Werts returned to Georgia Southern football practice Sunday after being suspended from the first two practices of fall camp following an arrest Wednesday.
“Quarterback Shai Werts returned to practice (Sunday) after submitting to, and passing, a drug test,” the team released in a statement. “Moving forward, Shai’s case will handled in accordance with the Georgia Southern Student-Athlete Code of Conduct.”
Werts was arrested Wednesday night in South Carolina and charged with a misdemeanor possession of cocaine and speeding. Because his case is still pending, Werts will not be made available to the media.
