Matt Araiza, a rookie punter for the Buffalo Bills, was released on Saturday after he and two others were accused of gang raping a minor while he was at San Diego State.
Araiza was named the Bills' starting punter last week when they released Matt Haack, who was with the team last year. Araiza did not suit up in Buffalo's preseason finale on Friday night, a decision that head coach Sean McDermott made.
"It's just a matter of trying to find the truth at the end of the day, that's the goal is find the truth and do the right thing," McDermott said after the game."And that's what I keep coming back to in my mind and my heart, is find out the truth to the best of my ability, and do the right thing."
