For the first time in three weeks, Jameis Winston threw a pass in a Wednesday practice. None of them were aimed at Adam Humphries.
Winston, the Buccaneers' third-year quarterback, has not missed a start since entering the NFL – a streak of 39 straight – but he has been managed carefully the past two weeks due to a right shoulder injury suffered in Arizona on October 15. The Bucs limited him to handoffs and mental reps during the first two practices in Weeks Seven and Eight, then let him throw all the first-team passes on each Friday.
That approach seemed to have no ill effect before the game in Buffalo, in which he threw accurately and racked up 384 yards and three touchdowns.
