Buffalo Bills rookie punter Matt Araiza, who was accused in a lawsuit Thursday of gang raping a 17-year-old girl when he was at San Diego State last year, did not dress for Friday night's preseason game against the Carolina Panthers.
Araiza was not seen on the sideline to start the game, although he did travel with the team to Charlotte, North Carolina.
Araiza is the only punter on the team's roster after the Bills named him the starter with the release of punter Matt Haack on Monday. Backup quarterback Matt Barkley filled in as the Bills' punter during Friday's game.
