The NFL is planning to suspend Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston for three games due to a violation of the league's personal conduct policy, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The league has yet to notify Winston, added Schefter, so his suspension could still be changed. The ban stems from an Uber ride in March 2016. A female driver said Winston groped her after she picked him up in the party district of Scottsdale, Ariz.
"He reached over and he just grabbed my crotch," the woman told BuzzFeed in November 2017. The driver said he kept his hand there for three-to-five seconds until she said, "What's up with that?"
If Winston's ban stands, he'll miss games against the New Orleans Saints, Philadelphia Eagles, and Pittsburgh Steelers. Veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick would likely move into the starting lineup.
