SCHOOL OFFERS THREE PLAYERS REINSTATEM­ENT

- From staff and wire reports

Division III Albright College in Pennsylvan­ia has offered to reinstate three football players who were dismissed from the team for not kneeling and standing at specified times before a game earlier this month. Backup quarterbac­k Gyree Durante was among the three players initially cut from the football team for not kneeling during the coin toss and standing during the national anthem before an Oct. 7 game, a decision that the college said was agreed upon by the team. Durante took a knee during the anthem, while two other unidentifi­ed players were cut because they did not fully kneel during the coin toss. School president Dr. Jacquelyn Fetrow reversed the decision on Monday.
