FORT WORTH (CBSDFW) - TCU head football coach Garry Patterson says two of his players who were arrested last week have been cleared to resume practice with the team.

Senior defensive end 22-year old Michael Tuaua and freshman wide receiver 19-year old Andre Petties-Wilson were arrested on felony charges last week - accused of confronting a student and running off with their case of beer.

Patterson said that the two have completed the university judicial process after a brief suspension and will be playing in the game against the Texas Longhorns on Saturday.

As far as the criminal charges go, reports say that the case has not been forwarded to the Tarrant County District Attorney's office for prosecution.
