Jameis Winston Out for At Least Two Weeks

Jameis Winston's career-opening streak of 40 consecutive games started will end next Sunday when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers take on the New York Jets at Raymond James Stadium. The shoulder injury that kept Winston from playing the second half in New Orleans in Week Nine will also keep him sidelined for "at least two weeks," as Buccaneers Head Coach Dirk Koetter revealed on Monday.

Winston and Koetter got that report from the Bucs' medical staff on Monday after Winston had undergone an MRI examination on his shoulder.

"They feel like he needs to rest for a couple of weeks and that’s what is going to happen," said Koetter, who indicated that the team did not currently have plans to put Winston on injured reserve.
