Undrafted rookie safety Shilo Sanders had a chance to make a final case for a spot in the Buccaneers\u2019 plan in Saturday\u2019s final preseason game, but he didn\u2019t make the right kind of impression. <\/p>\n

Sanders was ejected from the game in the first half against the Bills for throwing a punch at Bills tight end Zach Davidson. Bucs head coach Todd Bowles didn\u2019t pull his punches when it came to assessing Sanders\u2019s behavior.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t throw punches<\/a> in this league,\u201d Bowles said, via the team\u2019s website. \u201cThat\u2019s inexcusable. They\u2019re going to get you every time. Gotta grow from that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sanders had four tackles in the preseason before Saturday\u2019s outing came to an early end. Now he\u2019ll have to wait to see if Tampa wants to keep him around on either their active roster or the practice squad. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Undrafted rookie safety Shilo Sanders had a chance to make a final case for a spot in the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":106969,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-106968","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106968","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=106968"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106968\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/106969"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=106968"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=106968"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=106968"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
