NOTRE DAME, Ind. — Star wide receiver Michael Floyd has been cleared to participate in voluntary workouts this summer with the Fighting Irish football team despite not being reinstated by head coach Brian Kelly.

“Michael has made steady progress towards modifying his behavior and he may participate in the voluntary workouts being conducted by his teammates as well as the summer strength and conditioning program, if he so chooses,” Kelly said in a statement released Monday evening. “However, Michael still has steps to take before he can be considered for reinstatement to our football team. If he meets the conditions I have outlined to him and he demonstrates improved decision-making skills, Michael will have the opportunity to rejoin the team for practices and games this fall. If he doesn’t meet every criteria given to him, Michael will not play for Notre Dame in 2011.”

The voluntary workouts, led by Notre Dame student-athletes and strength and conditioning exercises supervised by Notre Dame’s strength and conditioning staff, began Monday afternoon.
