The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will shut down quarterback Jameis Winston for a few weeks to rest his injured throwing shoulder, coach Dirk Koetter said Monday.

Winston underwent X-rays Sunday after leaving the Buccaneers' loss to the New Orleans Saints. He was scheduled to have an MRI on Monday.

Winston said Sunday that he did not further aggravate the shoulder injury that had nagged him for the last three weeks.
