The Penn State Nittany Lions appear to be closer to full strength with the football season still four months away.
Knowledge Timmons, the former William Penn standout, said he was reinstated to the team late Wednesday -- along with starting defensive tackle Chris Baker, linebacker Navorro Bowman and tight end Andrew Quarless, two more potential starters.
"It's a relief," Timmons said. "I got another chance. It's a fresh start, sort of."
Timmons, a junior, had been suspended from the Penn State team since November for his behavior in the moments after a fight in the student union last fall, where police said he overturned tables and refused to leave the scene.
Baker and Bowman also were suspended for their alleged involvement in the fight. Baker was cleared of any wrongdoing by Penn State's office of judicial affairs but does still face two possible court cases, including one in relation to another fight.
The three did not make the trip to play Michigan State or to the Alamo Bowl. They also did not participate in spring practice, including last Saturday's Blue-White Game.
Defensive tackle Phil Taylor, also charged in the student union fight, has been suspended by the university through the summer. He could return in time for preseason workouts in August.
Quarless had been suspended for a DUI charge.
