  • No commitment from HC

    Coach Bruce Arians isn't prepared to endorse the re-signing of Winston, who's playing out the final year of his rookie contract this season, based on what he's seen from the 2015 first overall pick thus far, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports. "I'm going to pass on that one,'' Arians said. "I'm going to wait until the end of December. There's been really, really, really good and there's been some really, really bad. I'm just going to pass until it's over and then we'll make a decision.''

    Analysis: Arians was asked the pointed question Wednesday with respect to Winston, whose post-2019 NFL future partly rests in the head coach's hands. To Arians' credit, he didn't mince words with respect to the ambivalence he currently possesses about his fifth-year quarterback, who's generated a shaky 22:20 TD:INT and completed just 60.2 percent of his throws during his first 12 regular-season games running the coach's aggressive downfield scheme. The Buccaneers' current in-house options outside of…read more

  • Efficient in win

    Winston completed 21 of 33 passes for 268 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in the Buccaneers' 28-11 win over the Jaguars on Sunday. He also rushed six times for 20 yards and lost a fumble.

    Analysis: The one turnover was the only blemish on Winston's day, as the fifth-year pro otherwise played a rock-solid game. Winston surprisingly enjoyed his greatest success targeting Breshad Perriman, with whom he connected on five occasions for 87 yards, and O.J. Howard, who also was on the receiving end of five Winston completions for a change. Winston's interception-free performance was his first since Week 9 and only his fourth of the season, and he'll look to replicate that feat versus the Colts in…read more

  • Overcomes more mistakes in win

    Winston completed 18 of 28 passes for 312 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions in the Buccaneers' 35-22 win over the Falcons on Sunday. He also rushed eight times for 38 yards.

    Analysis: Early on, it looked like it could be more of the recent same for Winston, who tossed six interceptions in the two games prior to Sunday. Winston was guilty of his NFL-leading 19th and 20th picks in the first half, but he continued to fight through his struggles and seemed to gain a measure of confidence when he successfully threaded the needle on a 71-yard touchdown throw to Chris Godwin midway through the opening quarter. Winston's most prolific target on the afternoon would remain Godwin,…read more

  • Practices fully Wednesday

    Winston (ankle) practiced in full Wednesday, Carmen Vitali of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: During the Bucs' Week 11 loss to the Saints, Winston sprained his left ankle when New Orleans defensive end Trey Hendrickson landed on his leg at the 5:24 mark of the fourth quarter. On the next play, Winston tossed his third of four interceptions on the day, with Marcus Williams taking the pick back 55 yards to the house. Because his practice reps remained intact Wednesday, Winston's health doesn't appear to be a question. On the other hand, he's thrown multiple picks in four of the last five…read more

  • Doesn't appear injured

    Winston (ankle) didn't show any signs of injury at Wednesday's practice, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Winston came out of Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Saints with an ankle sprain, but he should be fine for Week 12 at Atlanta. It remains to be seen if the Bucs list him on their first injury report of the week, which will be released later Wednesday.

  • Downplays injury

    Winston said he expects to be fine after sustaining a medial left ankle sprain in Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Saints, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Winston picked up the injury late in the contest, adding to a frustrating day in which he tossed four interceptions to bring his season total to an NFL-high 18. Fortunately for the signal-caller, he was able to move about the locker room Monday without the aid of a boot, suggesting the ankle issue isn't particularly worrisome. Tampa Bay may still restrict his practice reps this week as a result, however, so Winston's status will be worth tracking when the Buccaneers release their first injury…read more

  • Four more INTs in loss

    Winston completed 30 of 51 passes for 313 yards with two touchdowns and four interceptions in the Buccaneers' 34-17 loss to the Saints on Sunday. He also rushed twice for 23 yards, recovered his own fumble, and came out of the contest with a potential ankle injury, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: The outlook is bleak all the way around coming out of the loss for Winston, who further endangered his hold on the starting job with yet another multi-interception tally and then sustained the ankle injury near the end of the contest. Winston now has an NFL-high 18 interceptions, even though he's admittedly been the victim of some misfortune in terms of tipped passes that have been picked off. There's not been any official indication Winston is in danger of being pulled from the top job yet,…read more

  • Overcomes errors in Week 10 win

    Winston completed 30 of 48 passes for 358 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions in the Buccaneers' 30-27 win over the Cardinals on Sunday. He also rushed three times for 40 yards and committed a fumble, but it was recovered by the offense.

    Analysis: Winston turned in what has become a signature performance for him, one featuring multiple sacks, multiple interceptions and plenty of passing yards. For a change, the Buccaneers were on the right side of the scoreboard by the final gun, as their beleaguered defense was able to come up with a stop on the Cardinals' last-gasp drive. Winston did suffer yet another interception off a deflection, but he also made a bad decision on his first one of the day. The pair of picks pushed Winston's season…read more

  • Big numbers in Week 9 loss

    Winston completed 29 of 44 passes for 335 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Buccaneers' 40-34 overtime loss to the Seahawks on Sunday. He also rushed twice for eight yards and lost a fumble.

    Analysis: Winston managed to stay away from interceptions after throwing seven picks over the prior two games, but he lost the handle on a Mychal Kendricks sack early in the fourth quarter just inside Seattle territory. It was the embattled quarterback's eighth fumble of the season overall -- although he's only lost three of them -- and his 15th turnover of the campaign. Winston was otherwise excellent from a fantasy perspective, wracking up his third straight 300-yard performance and fifth overall in…read more

  • Scuffles again in Week 8 loss

    Winston completed 21 of 43 passes for 301 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions in the Buccaneers' 27-23 loss to the Titans on Sunday. He also rushed eight times for 53 yards and had three fumbles, losing two and recovering one.

    Analysis: The final line is a mixed bag from a fantasy perspective, but Winston was downright bad at times Sunday in a real-world football sense and was guilty of an inexcusable four turnovers. The mistake-prone quarterback did have the connection with Mike Evans in top form, as he hit his trusted wideout for 11 completions, 198 yards and a pair of touchdowns from nine and two yards out, respectively. Winston's second pick was particularly ill-timed, as it came at the Titans' 25-yard line with 26 seconds…read more

  • No benching imminent

    Head coach Bruce Arians emphasized Monday that he isn't considering benching Winston, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The question was bound to be asked after Winston doubled his season interception total to 10 with five picks and also lost a fumble against the Panthers on Sunday. Winston bought himself some slack with some impressive performances leading up to the debacle, and the fact current backup Ryan Griffin has yet to take his first regular-season snap helps Winston's case. However, when Blaine Gabbert (shoulder) potentially comes off injured reserve at some point after Week 9, Arians will have a more…read more

  • Six turnovers in London

    Winston completed 30 of 54 passes for 400 yards with one touchdown and five interceptions in the Buccaneers' 37-26 loss to the Panthers on Sunday. He also threw a two-point conversion pass, had a two-point conversion rush and committed two fumbles, losing one.

    Analysis: The stat line says it all for Winston, who may have struck one of the sharpest contrasts between a real-world and fantasy performance in recent memory. The six turnovers are the obvious blemishes from a gameplay standpoint, and they effectively squashed any chance of the Buccaneers seriously threatening in this game past the first quarter. Three of Winston's interceptions came in the second half as the Buccaneers tried to overcome their self-inflicted wounds, with the final one transpiring with…read more

    Winston completed 15 of 27 passes for 204 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Buccaneers' 31-24 loss to the Saints on Sunday. He also rushed three times for 13 yards and fumbled once, although it was recovered by the offense.

    Analysis: Winston turned in a serviceable performance from a fantasy perspective, but Chris Godwin was the only one of his pass catchers with which he enjoyed any real chemistry. Mike Evans couldn't come up with any of the three targets Winston sent his way, and Bobo Wilson was the only other receiver to record a stat through the air. Meanwhile, Winston also benefited from having two interceptions wiped off the books by Saints penalties, underscoring how much difficulty the Buccaneers' passing game has…read more

  • Spearheads spectacular road win

    Winston completed 28 of 41 passes for 385 yards with four touchdowns and one interception in the Buccaneers' 55-40 win over the Rams on Sunday. He also lost a yard on his sole rush.

    Analysis: Taking on the unbeaten defending NFC champions on the road, Winston showed thorough mastery of coach Bruce Arians' offense for the first time, helping the Buccaneers produce a franchise-record point tally. The fifth-year gunslinger was nearly flawless for the majority of the contest, but the pick-six he threw to Marcus Peters in the fourth quarter helped keep the game's outcome in the balance for a while longer. That mistake aside, Winston constantly was a step ahead of coordinator Wade…read more

  • Throws three TD passes

    Winston completed 23 of 37 pass attempts for 380 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's 32-31 loss to the Giants.

    Analysis: Winston completed 62 percent of his pass attempts and averaged a healthy 10.3 yards per attempt thanks to some big gains through the air. He completed three touchdown passes to Mike Evans in the first half but his lone interception was equally important, coming while his team was marching toward the red zone in the fourth quarter. All in all, it was a much-improved performance from Winston, who averaged just 201 passing yards with three turnovers over the first two games. He'll face a tougher…read more

    Winston practiced in full Wednesday but is listed on the injury report with a foot issue, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM Radio reports.

    Analysis: Winston is fully expected to start Sunday versus the Giants, though his participation in practice Thursday and Friday will be worth monitoring. The nature and severity of his foot injury remain undisclosed. The 25-year-old quarterback managed to avoid any turnovers Week 2 versus the Panthers, and he will look to log another mistake-free game against New York.

  • Remains free of mistakes in win

    Winston completed 16 of 25 passes for 208 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in the Buccaneers' 20-14 win over the Panthers on Thursday. He also rushed four times for nine yards.

    Analysis: Although it was a sluggish offensive performance at times and Winston took three sacks, he managed to author two 70-yard-plus drives and a key 11-play fourth-quarter march as well. Winston showed his greatest synergy with Chris Godwin, with whom he connected on eight occasions for 121 yards. The fifth-year quarterback was also victimized by key drops, as neither Mike Evans nor Breshad Perriman could come down with strong throws they got their hands on in the end zone. Despite the rather…read more

  • Falls flat in opener

    Winston completed 20 of 36 passes for 194 yards with a touchdown and three interceptions in the Buccaneers' 31-17 loss to the 49ers on Sunday. He also rushed five times for 13 yards and had two fumbles, losing one.

    Analysis: Winston's regular-season debut in coach Bruce Arians' offense was pretty much an abject disaster by all accounts, with his one highlight a 10-yard touchdown pass to Chris Godwin to cap off an 11-play, 75-yard scoring march in the third quarter. Otherwise, Winston was under constant pressure and took three sacks overall while also throwing a pair of pick-sixes to Richard Sherman and Akello Witherspoon. In fairness, Winston's line would have looked somewhat better had either of the two touchdown…read more

  • Struggles in extended action

    Winston completed nine of 19 passes for 88 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in the Buccaneers' 13-12 preseason win over the Browns on Friday. He also rushed twice for six yards.

    Analysis: Winston couldn't muster any scoring drives throughout his seven series, although the five sacks he took certainly didn't help him establish any continuity. The fifth-year signal-caller also was playing without top target Mike Evans (quadriceps), but he did have the rest of his first-team weapons at his disposal. The quality of competition also has to be figured into Winston's struggles, as the Browns are expected to have a top-tier defense in the coming season and were also giving their…read more

  • Minimal action in win

    Winston completed two of four passes for 24 yards and added five yards on his sole rush in the Buccaneers' 16-14 preseason win over the Dolphins on Friday.

    Analysis: Winston's time on the field was limited to the opening series for the second straight game, and he helped the Buccaneers reach the Dolphins' 30-yard line until suffering an 11-yard sack on his last play. Winston is likely to see much more extensive action in next week's third preseason tilt against the Browns, and he seems to have a sound grasp of coach Bruce Arians' offense thus far.

    Winston completed five of six passes for 40 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions in the Buccaneers' 30-28 preseason loss to the Steelers on Friday. He also gained 10 yards on his sole rush.

    Analysis: Winston was razor sharp in his first opportunity to helm coach Bruce Arians' offense during live game action. The veteran signal-caller was playing without Mike Evans in the preseason opener, but he was able to connect with starters Breshad Perriman and Chris Godwin, as well as top running backs Peyton Barber and Ronald Jones, during the opening drive. Winston then capped off his one possession with a nine-yard touchdown to Godwin, making his exhibition debut a highly successful one. Winston…read more

  • More checkdowns in new system

    Winston is adapting to throwing more checkdown passes to his running backs within coach Bruce Arians' new offense, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports. "Sometimes checking that ball down is the simple decision," Winston said. "It's about moving the chains. It's about a completion here and a completion there. And that's how you know the game really slows down is when you're able to do that, when it's just second nature."

    Analysis: Winston has a well-earned reputation as a gunslinger, a notion supported by the fact he boasts 163 completions of over 20 yards -- including 23 over 40 -- in his first 56 NFL games. However, he's also thrown 58 interceptions over that span, so a more cautious approach may be just what Winston needs to take the next step in his development. Additionally, Arians' offenses typically include a solid amount of passing-game involvement for the running backs, with David Johnson's 80 receptions in…read more

    Winston was praised for his consistency thus far in camp by coach Bruce Arians, who added the quarterback is "right where he needs to be" in mastering the offense, Carmen Vitali of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: The Buccaneers' early practices have been an interesting exercise in evaluation, as the team is implementing completely new schemes on each side of the ball. As expected under those circumstances, both the offense and defense have had their share of ups and downs, but Winston is apparently on pace to hit the ground running under Arians' quarterback-friendly scheme come the regular season. Although coordinator Todd Bowles' defense has won its share of battles against Winston and company, the…read more

    Winston arrived at Buccaneers training camp ahead of schedule Monday to participate in a three-day "Quarterback School", Carmen Vitali of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Bucs veterans aren't required to be in the building until Thursday, but Winston, along with Blaine Gabbert, Ryan Griffin and Nick Fitzgerald (NFI, hamstring), were all present and accounted for Monday. The quarterbacks are getting a jump on re-acclimating to the practice field and getting some live reps in 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 sessions versus an all-rookie defense.

  • Wants to play at 250 pounds

    Winston said he will play at 250 pounds in 2019, Rick Stroud of The Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Analysis: Winston was 231 pounds at the 2015 combine and has been listed at that same weight throughout his NFL career, though he's looked a bit heavier at times. He'll focus on adding muscle this offseason, perhaps preparing to take more hits under new coach Bruce Arians, who has a reputation for emphasizing downfield passing even if there's a trade-off in terms of sacks or interceptions. It's an approach that should be familiar, as Tampa Bay had the most passing yards (5,125) and interceptions (26) in…read more

    New offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich confirmed Winston will be the Buccanners' starting quarterback in 2019, Rick Stroud of The Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Analysis: Leftwich said he and Winston will be "connected at the hip" throughout the process of implementing head coach Bruce Arians' vertical offense. The 39-year-old is expected to get his second shot as an NFL play-caller, after taking over in Arizona when Mike McCoy was fired midway through the 2018 campaign. Despite some initial improvement, Leftwich ultimately was unable to turn things around in the desert, faced with the limitations of a rookie quarterback playing behind an atrocious offensive…read more

  • Expected to stay in Tampa

    Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht said Winston will be back with the team in 2019, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Winston finished out his fourth NFL season in good health, allowing the Bucs to drop the fifth-year option on his contract if they'd rather have an extra $20.9 million in cap space. He may not have played well enough to warrant a long-term extension, but it's hard to see how the team would find an upgrade for 2019. Licht is probably hoping to pair Winston with a draft pick, as 36-year-old Ryan Fitzpatrick is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent and should be able to find high-end…read more

  • Another 300-yard game to cap season

    Winston completed 22 of 35 passes for 345 yards with four touchdowns and one interception in the Buccaneers' 34-32 loss to the Falcons on Sunday. He also rushed twice for 23 yards.

    Analysis: With reports emerging earlier Sunday that the team planned to bring him back as its starting quarterback in 2019, Winston promptly went out and put together one of his best performances of the season. The four-year veteran's quartet of passing scores equaled a season high, while his yardage total served as his third-best figure of 2018. Winston finishes his abbreviated 2018 campaign with five 300-yard passing efforts overall, but he now faces an offseason of uncertainty from a coaching…read more

  • Will be Bucs starter in 2019

    Winston will return as the Buccaneers' starting quarterback in 2019, according to Adam Schefter on ESPN Sunday Countdown.

    Analysis: Due to a combination of uneven play and off-the-field concerns in his first three campaigns, Winston was a question mark to return to the only home he's known as a professional. Ryan Fitzpatrick's scorching start to the season during Winston's three-game suspension didn't do the latter any favors. However, Winston has settled into a nice groove since Week 11, completing 64.6 percent of his passes, throwing for 300-plus yards twice, and recording nine touchdowns versus three interceptions over…read more

  • May cede snaps to backup

    Winston may not play all of the Buccaneers' offensive snaps in Week 17 against the Falcons after coach Dirk Koetter said Monday that the team would like to get backup quarterback Ryan Griffin his first NFL regular-season reps in the contest, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports. "The guy's been here for three years," Koetter said of Griffin. "He's worked his tail off."

    Analysis: Koetter didn't expound on what Griffin's workload might look like if he enters the game, but based on the coach's comments, it's likely the 29-year-old would only take the field for a brief cameo. It would amount to a token gesture of gratitude for a player who has spent the bulk of six professional seasons on either the New Orleans or Tampa Bay rosters without officially making his NFL debut. With that in mind, Griffin's potential usage might only be a minor hindrance on Winston's fantasy…read more

  • Productive in defeat

    Winston completed 34 of 48 passes for 336 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in the Buccaneers' 27-20 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday. He also rushed four times for 14 yards and lost two fumbles, one of which was returned for a touchdown.

    Analysis: From a fantasy perspective, Winston's final line was strong overall, but one of his miscues was responsible for the Cowboys' final margin of victory. The fourth-year signal-caller gave up the ball on a sack at the Cowboys' 31-yard line late in the first quarter, and Jaylon Smith scooped it up and returned it 69 yards for a touchdown. Winston otherwise was sharp for the most part and gave Tampa a fighting chance at a possible game-tying drive when he capped off an eight-play, 71-yard march with…read more

  • Struggles in Week 15 loss

    Winston completed 13 of 25 passes for 157 yards with no touchdowns and one interception in the Buccaneers' 20-12 loss to the Ravens on Sunday. He netted zero yards on two rushes.

    Analysis: Winston had a couple of highlights -- a 64-yard completion to Mike Evans on a broken play being the most prominent -- but his final line was indicative of the sluggish performance of the Buccaneers offense on the rainy afternoon. Winston's passing yardage total was his lowest by far in any game he's played start to finish this season, and the touchdown-less performance was only his second of the campaign. The fourth-year pro will look to bounce back against the Cowboys in a Week 16 matchup.

  • Inaccurate in divisional loss

    Winston completed 18 of 38 passes for 213 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in the Buccaneers' 28-14 loss to the Saints on Sunday. He also rushed five times for 47 yards.

    Analysis: Winston's completion percentage dipped under 50.0 percent for the first time this season, although he did extend his streak of two-touchdown games to four. The four-year pro also posted a season-low 5.6 YPA, but he continued to provide some unexpected production on the ground by rushing for over 45 yards for a second consecutive week. Winston's one interception came on a last-gasp heave to Mike Evans with nine seconds remaining, a pass Marshon Lattimore brought down in the end zone. Winston…read more

  • Throws two TD passes

    Winston completed 20 of 30 pass attempts for 249 yards and two touchdowns Sunday against the Panthers. He also carried five times for 48 yards in the 24-17 win.

    Analysis: Winston completed 67 percent of his passes while averaging a healthy 8.3 yards per attempt. He threw touchdown passes to Chris Godwin and Adam Humphries, giving him a 6:1 TD:INT over his last three games. Winston was also effective as a ball carrier, leading the team in rushing to top off his productive afternoon. He'll look to build on his recent success in Week 14 during what should be a high-scoring affair against the Saints.

  • Excels in Week 12 win

    Winston completed 29 of 38 passes for 312 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Buccaneers' 27-9 win over the 49ers on Sunday. He also rushed seven times for 24 yards.

    Analysis: Coach Dirk Koetter couldn't have asked for a better performance out of Winston in his return to the starting job, as he remained mistake-free and connected with eight different pass catchers overall. Winston opened the scoring with a 6-yard scoring strike to Cameron Brate in the first quarter, and he came back with a 28-yard scoring toss to Adam Humphries in the fourth quarter that served as the final points of the day for either squad. The 2015 first overall pick's future with the franchise…read more

  • Named as Week 12 starter

    Winston will get the start Week 12 against the 49ers, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Analysis: The announcement comes as no surprise after Ryan Fitzpatrick threw seven interceptions the past three weeks, including a trio in Sunday's 38-35 loss to the Giants before he was replaced by Winston. The 24-year-old led three consecutive touchdown drives to bring the Bucs back into the contest, but he didn't have much time on the final series and was picked off on a desperation heave. Winston will now face a San Francisco defense that's given up 21 touchdown passes while notching just two…read more

  • Nearly leads comeback in loss

    Winston entered Sunday's 38-35 loss to the Giants in the third quarter and completed 12 of 16 passes for 199 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. He also rushed five times for 16 yards and fumbled once, but it was recovered by Mike Evans for a touchdown. Despite Winston's heroics, Roy Cummings of FloridaFootballInsiders.com reports that head coach Dirk Koetter was noncommital about Winston being his Week 12 starter versus the 49ers in his postgame press conference

    Analysis: Ryan Fitzpatrick earned himself a benching with a three-interception performance over two-plus quarters, so Winston was called into action for the first time since Week 8 against the Bengals. He proceeded to nearly pull off a rather improbable comeback, leading the Bucs to 28 second-half points on four drives of 66 yards or more. Winston nearly committed a back-breaking mistake when he lost the handle on the ball on the way into the end zone late in the third quarter, but Evans alertly fell on…read more

  • Remains in backup role

    Winston will continue to back up starter Ryan Fitzpatrick in Sunday's road game against the Giants.

    Analysis: Winston seemingly was benched due to issues with turnovers. The low point was a four-interception performance in a Week 8 loss to the Bengals, extending his streak with multiple picks to five games (four of them this season, plus Week 17 of the 2017 campaign). Since Winston's demotion, Fitzpatrick similarly has been turnover-prone, committing five in back-to-back losses. With the Bucs sitting at 3-6, Winston may be given another chance to play this season. That said, his fifth-year option is…read more
