NORMAL — The Illinois State football team is back on the Hancock Stadium turf after a brief suspension of activities.
The Redbirds were shut down last week after the most recent round of COVID-19 testing produced 31 positives among ISU athletes on five teams.
“We’re cleared for on the field. We started our workouts with the 12-hour rule yesterday,” ISU coach Brock Spack said Thursday. “We’re restricted in what we can do. We’re going position specific drills.”
The Redbirds will not play a fall schedule because of the pandemic but are targeting a spring Missouri Valley Football Conference slate.
