I guess we can say the Josh Shaw saga is over now.
The talented cornerback was suspended this summer after an incident which led to Shaw being injured, and lying about saving a drowning family member from the pool.
#USC cornerback Josh Shaw has been reinstated to the team, USC announces.

Shaw will not face charges in connection with an August incident at his apartment, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office said Monday.
USC AD Pat Haden released this statement.
“For several months, local authorities have been investigating the August 23 incident involving Josh Shaw. They have now concluded that investigation and determined that no action will be taken against him. USC also conducted its own internal investigation of Josh, evaluating both athletic department code of conduct and potential NCAA compliance issues. Based on these investigations and their conclusions, and the 10-game suspension Josh has served for code of conduct violations, we have made the decision to reinstate him. The role Josh will have in any remaining games is now in the hands of Coach Sarkisian.”
The Trojans have two regular-season games remaining, on Saturday against UCLA and Nov. 29 against Notre Dame.
The Trojans also are in contention for a spot in the Pac-12 Conference championship game on Dec.5 and have already qualified for a bowl game.
