Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston re-injured his shoulder in the team's game against the Buffalo Bills, according to head coach Dirk Koetter.
No need for Buccaneers fans to fall in a tizzy, as the young gunslinger is still scheduled to start this weekend.
Koetter, in a radio appearance, added Jameis Winston also has a bruised deltoid muscle in his throwing shoulder. I am not 100 percent sure what a deltoid muscle is, but Gorilla Monsoon used to talk about that part of the human anatomy a ton in my youth while watching pro wrestling.
The head coach bluntly said it is why the signal-caller only threw in Friday’s practice this week. Koetter expects this to be a pattern in practices in the immediate future Winston's shoulder can “calm down.”
Winston is officially listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Panthers, but Koetter said Winston will start. So, uh, I guess he should probably be listed as probable, but who cares about those semantics (gamblers)?Koetter said that team doctors do not believe the limited practice schedule will last for the rest of the season.
Basically, short story turned even shorter, Winston is fine. He is more “hurt” than “injured” at this point — at least according to the team. While his practice sessions will be relatively limited moving forward, the Buccaneers clearly do not believe this to be a monumental issue.
Still, this is something worthy of keeping an eye on as the season progresses. Today's no big deal can be tomorrow's what in the hell.
