Shilo Sanders, the brother of Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders and son of NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, has been waived by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Sanders, a 6-foot, 195-pound safety, was waived by the Bucs on Sunday. His release came one day after he was ejected from a preseason game against the Buffalo Bills for throwing a punch at Bills tight end Zach Davidson. Sanders was flagged for unnecessary roughness on the play before being ejected from the game.

“You can’t throw punches in this league -- that’s inexcusable,” Bucs head coach Todd Bowles said. “They’re going to get you every time. You’ve got to grow from that.”

Sanders’ agents, Drew Rosenhaus and Robert Bailey, said they are hopefully Sanders will get claimed on waivers by another NFL team, ESPN reports.
