Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie safety Shilo Sanders was ejected from the home preseason game on Saturday night against Buffalo after taking a swing at Bills tight end Zach Richardson.
Sanders, the son of Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders and older brother of Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders, was tangling with Davidson, who was blocking him well away from the play and down the field and appeared to make contact with the safety's facemask when Sanders retaliated.
'You can't throw punches in this league,' Bucs head coach Todd Bowles said after the team's 23-19 defeat. 'That was inexcusable. They're gonna get you every time.'
Sanders was disqualified on a play that started at the 6:59 mark of the second quarter, when Bills quarterback Shane Buechele completed a 1-yard pass to Elijah Moore to the Tampa Bay 23.
Now with first and 10 at the Tampa 11 after the penalty, Buechele connected with Tyrell Shavers for an 11-yard touchdown for a 14-3 advantage.
Shilo Sanders, who was an undrafted free agent, played two seasons at Colorado and in 2019-20 at South Carolina and totaled 170 tackles, four TFL, one sack, one interception, five forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries in 34 games. He also played in 2021 and 2022 at Jackson State with his brother for their father.
