Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston downplayed the knee injury he suffered during the fourth quarter Thursday against the Atlanta Falcons.

"I feel great. I feel great," Winston said after the game, according to Chris Wesseling of NFL.com.

Winston suffered the ailment after crashing into two Falcons defenders while trying to get into the end zone. The quarterback was deemed questionable to return while Mike Glennon stepped up in his absence.
