Michigan State offensive lineman Arthur Ray Jr. practiced with the Spartans on Thursday, four years after being diagnosed with leg cancer.

Ray said he found out he was cleared to practice from coach Mark Dantonio. "I was in class, and I just cried tears of joy," he said. "It felt so good because it just represents so much now.
