“You can’t punch in this league. It’s inexcusable. They will get you every time,” said Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles after the match. “You have to grow from that.”
Sanders, the son of Deion Sanders and brother of Shedeur Sanders, joined the Buccaneers as an unlikely free agent. He had a good chance to list before the incident.
Sanders was transferred to Colorado once his father took over as a head coach of the Buffaloes. He first went to South Carolina.
