USC defensive back Josh Shaw was officially reinstated to the team Tuesday. 

Pat Haden, the Trojans' Athletic Director, released a statement on the USC Athletics website: 

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.

Head coach Steve Sarkisian said that he has welcomed Shaw back to the team, and is evaluating his role.
