Seferian-Jenkins, 23, also faces a misdemeanor charge of violating a court-ordered Ignition Interlock Device restriction from a previous arrest for DUI in 2013 while attending the University of Washington. He later pleaded guilty to DUI.

Seferian-Jenkins, a second-round pick of the Bucs in 2014, was booted on the final day of OTAs in June by new coach Dirk Koetter for not knowing where to line up.

Seferian-Jenkins had two catches for 14 yards last Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. He had a 30-yard reception in the season opener against the Atlanta Falcons.
