The NFL career of former Colorado Buffaloes defensive back Shilo Sanders took a hit recently after it was reported that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were cutting him ahead of cutdown day on Tuesday.
Sanders, who is the son of NFL legend Deion Sanders and the brother of Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders, signed as an undrafted free agent with Tampa Bay in April.
While there was never really an expectation for Sanders to make the Bucs' 53-man roster, he did not help his cause after he was ejected from the preseason Week 3 contest versus the Buffalo Bills for throwing a punch at tight end Zach Davidson.
In the wake of Sanders getting the boot, Bleacher Report's Joseph Zucker named three potential landing spots for Sanders, a list that included the Pittsburgh Steelers, Philadelphia Eagles and Buccaneers.
In reality, Sanders could end up with just about any team in the NFL.
He's not going to get claimed off waivers on Wednesday because no team is going to add him to their 53-man roster. That means Sanders is going to be a practice squad body, opening up the list of teams he could join.
One thing Sanders has working against him is the attention he receives.
Granted, he isn't on the level of his brother Shedeur, but Shilo garners much more attention than your average practice squad body because of his connections to both Shedeur and Deion, which could deter teams that are looking to avoid distractions.
We'll see if Sanders finds a new home on a practice squad after the waiver wire process plays out on Wednesday at noon ET.
