Sean McDermott Declines to Comment on Matt Araiza's Bills Future Ahead of Roster Cuts

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott declined to comment on whether starting punter Matt Araiza will make the team ahead of the final round of roster cuts before the regular season.

McDermott addressed the situation following Buffalo's 21-0 loss to the Carolina Panthers in its preseason finale:

The Los Angeles Times' Colleen Shalby and Robert J. Lopez reported Thursday that Araiza was one of three San Diego State players accused in a civil lawsuit of gang-raping a 17-year-old girl last year.

Araiza issued a statement Friday: "The facts of the incident are not what they are portrayed in the lawsuit or in the press. I look forward to quickly setting the record straight."
