NFL to suspend Jameis Winston 3 games
News broke late Wednesday evening that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and quarterback Jameis Winston were concerned about a looming suspension.
It now looks like that’s going to be the case. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the NFL is planning on suspending the quarterback the first three games of the 2018 season for violating its personal conduct policy.

This comes following a March 2016 incident in which Winston allegedly groped an Uber driver. The incident itself wasn’t reported until November of last year.
If Winston is suspended three games, and it holds up on appeal, veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick will be under center to open the season for Tampa Bay.
