The Buccaneers have had to deal with their share of drama with tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins already this season, and he just gave them some more.

According to the Tampa Bay Times, Seferian-Jenkins was arrested early this morning, and is still in custody after being charged with a misdemeanor count of driving under the influence.

He was stopped by the Florida Highway Patrol around 4 a.m., and as of 30 minutes ago, was still in jail.

He pleaded guilty to a DUI charge when he was in college at Washington also.

The Buccaneers open at home Sunday against the Rams, and Seferian-Jenkins might not be fully prepared to contribute since he’s still in jail.
