BATON ROUGE, La. -- Just hours after a judge did not send Jeremy Hill to jail for violating his probation, the LSU star was reinstated to the team and was back practicing with the Tigers.

LSU coach Les Miles allowed Hill to rejoin the team after the running back met with the team and players voted to allow him back. Hill practiced Monday afternoon, the first day of LSU's fall camp.

Hill had been suspended from all team activities since his April 29 arrest for punching a man outside of a Baton Rouge bar. Hill was already on probation for pleading guilty to a 2012 misdemeanor stemming from his sexual relationship with a then-14-year-old girl while he was a student at Baton Rouge's Redemptorist High School.

Hill pled guilty to misdemeanor simple battery for the bar fight charge in July. Monday's hearing was on whether to revoke his probation on the 2012 charge based on the violation of that probation.

Instead, state district judge Bonnie Jackson chose to extend his probation and add more community service, opening the door for his return to the team.

"He owes this team, this school, this community his best behavior," Miles said. "He will have further punishment. It will be internal. It will be comprehensive. We will see the whole person."

Hill appeared at a news conference after the Monday afternoon practice where he apologized "to, first, my teammates and to the community," he said. "I made a poor choice in judgment. But I've learned from the mistake. Moving forward, I will continue to be a better person, a better teammate and a role model for kids in the community."
