Stephen Carr cleared to return to practice ahead of USC’s fall camp

USC’s running game just got a huge boost. Head coach Clay Helton announced at Wednesday’s Pac-12 Media Day that sophomore running back Stephen Carr has been cleared to participate in fall camp, which begins August 3rd.

The news comes just a day after Carr posted a cryptic tweet about being let off the leash.

Expected to be a sophomore sensation, Carr had missed all of spring camp with a herniated disk that required a February surgery. Now the Trojans are hopeful he’ll reach his potential as quickly, yet as cautiously as possible.

“Coming off of back surgery, we’ll be smart,” Helton said.
