USC running back Joe McKnight has rejoined the Trojans after missing some practices leading up to the Emerald Bowl.

The recently embattled McKnight has yet to be cleared by the school for Saturday night's game against Boston College. They've been looking into his use of an SUV that doesn't belong to him.

McKnight was noticably absent for the Trojans' trip to San Francisco, but Pete Carroll says he arrived Wednesday night.

The junior had a team-high 1,014 rushing yards this year for a USC team that suffered through its worst season since 2001.
