Hours after getting ejected from the Buccaneers’ final preseason game on Saturday for throwing a punch, rookie safety Shilo Sanders was waived by Tampa Bay. “We’re hoping he gets claimed on waivers,” Sanders’ agents, Drew Rosenhaus and Robert Bailey, told ESPN.

That said, if he clears waivers, the Buccaneers could, theoretically, still sign Sanders to their practice squad. Be it in Tampa Bay or otherwise, that would be the likely next course of action for Sanders, regardless. Put another way: Sanders has a long way to go before he can even think about making noise for an NFL team.
