Dec 5, 2023 12:46 AM

Bronny James was a limited participant at USC's practice on Monday as he continues to wait for clearance to resume full-contact practice.

"Bronny has not been cleared fully yet from USC. He can participate without contact. He's done a good job of getting his conditioning and his strength back and I think he's on the path to being ready to play very quickly," said USC head coach Andy Enfield.
