The NFL's investigation into Jameis Winston's reported violation of the league's personal conduct policy found that Ronald Darby, a key witness, wasn't present the whole time, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback is reportedly facing a three-game suspension relating to an incident in Scottsdale, Ariz. on March 16, in which a female Uber driver said Winston groped her after she picked him up.

Darby had previously claimed to be in the car and said "Jameis did not have any physical contact with the Uber driver. The accusations are just not true." But the investigation found that Darby, a former teammate of Winston's at Florida State, wasn't in the car for the entire ride.
