TAMPA, Florida — August 24, 2025. Shilo Sanders, a rookie of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, was suspended for hitting an opponent during the preseason match against the Buffalo Bills for hitting the star player Zach Davidson in the face in the second quarter. This incident occurred during a tense game when tensions escalated following Davidson's block.

Shilo, the son of famous quarterback Deion Sanders, is trying to secure a spot on the team after not being selected in the draft. Previously in the game, he was also penalized for violating game rules. This episode could significantly jeopardize his chances of making the team roster, especially since before the start of the season, the team roster was reduced from 90 to 53 players.

In his debut match for the Buccaneers in the preseason tournament, Shilo demonstrated good results. However, his performance in the game against the Bills and the suspension raised concerns in the training staff. Head coach Todd Bowles previously praised his demonstrated skills, but now his discipline has become a key factor in evaluating the player's potential.

At the same time, his brother - Shedeur Sanders, who was drafted in the fifth round by the Cleveland Browns, is also facing challenges. Despite showing promising results in preseason games, his position on the team remains uncertain due to competition with other quarterbacks.
