The person spoke to the AP on condition of
anonymity because the team hasn't announced its cuts.
Sanders, the son of Hall of Fame cornerback Deion Sanders, was
battling for a roster spot after going undrafted out of
Colorado, where he played for his father. He was also penalized
for pass interference earlier in Tampa Bay's 23-19 loss to
Buffalo on Saturday night.
“You can't throw punches in this league. It’s inexcusable.
They're gonna get you every time," Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles
said. “You gotta grow from that."
The Buccaneers could still add Sanders to the practice squad if
he doesn't get claimed off waivers by another team.
Sanders, a hard-hitting and playmaking safety at Colorado, had
an impressive debut for the Buccaneers in the preseason opener.
But he had strong competition to make Tampa Bay's roster.
Sanders was engaged with Zach Davidson for a few yards, pushing
and shoving each other. He was immediately flagged after
throwing a punch that sent him to the locker room.
It was a tough Saturday for both of the sons of "Coach Prime" in
the preseason. Shedeur Sanders, a fifth-round pick by Cleveland,
was 3 of 6 for 14 yards and took five sacks.
