The Facts: Winston was excited to be back with his teammates Monday beginning the first phase of the off-season workout program. But when Winston will be able to step on the field in a regular-season game for the Bucs still is unknown. The NFL's investigation of Winston for possible misconduct is into its fifth month with no resolution in sight. Winston confirmed Monday he has not yet been interviewed by the NFL as part of its investigation. "Well, I know the NFL has a process they have to go through and I respect that process," Winston said. "That's not my job to speculate on that process. My focus has been with this organization, getting the guys back in here and focusing on what we can do to be a better team this offseason."

Diehards Line: Winston has been accused of groping an Arizona female Uber driver in March 2016 and the league launched its probe last November. Winston has maintained his innocence. GM Jason Licht and HC Dirk Koetter have expressed frustration over the slow pace of the inquiry. Winston could face suspension under the league's broad player conduct policy. We'll continue to watch for more on this. In the meantime, the QB has focused on preparing his body for the rigors of a 16-game NFL regular season. He missed three games with a shoulder injury in 2017. Winston had also organized private workouts with Bucs receivers, throwing with Mike Evans at Texas A&M and last week with DeSean Jackson at Florida State.
