TAMPA, Fla. -- Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston apologized Wednesday for inciting the incident that led to Mike Evans suspension and also said he had his throwing shoulder examined by orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews.

Winston said he's not surprised head coach Dirk Koetter suggested both he and Evans should have been ejected. He said he was surprised Evans wasn't ejected Sunday and instead was suspended for one game.

"I just want to apologize on behalf of my teammates and Mike Evans for the incident that happened in the Saints game. That's something I can't do in the heat of the moment," he said.
