lifted at 12:01 on Tuesday morning and is now back with the Buccaneers O. J. Howard Jersey , as they prepare to face the Chicago Bears on Sunday. The former #1 overall pick, was the first one in the building, as usual on Tuesday morning. In fact, instead of arriving at 5:45 a.m., Winston showed up at 5:30, ready to work.Today marked the first time in nearly five weeks that Winston was in front of the media since leaving the team at the end of the preseason. Winston made it clear that he is just excited to be back with the team. “I think the most important thing is being back in the building. Yesterday was kind of an off day, so I got here at about 5:30 [AM]. Didn’t see a bunch of smiling faces coming in, but today everybody came back energetic and it felt like home. I’m excited to be back,” Winston said. It was made known on Monday by ESPN reporter Adam Schefter, that Winston predicted this start for Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Buccaneers offense. He was asked about it today and gave a very Winston like answer. His main focus was the team as a whole.“Of course, I practice with him every single day. This guy hasn’t been playing in this league for 14 years for any reason. Plus, when you add the weapons that we have outside when you add our intense – the hardest workers in our building is the offensive line,” Winston said. “When they’re protecting the way that they are, you can do nothing else but to go out there and light it up. I’m excited for Fitz and I’m excited as a whole as a team were playing very good. Like I said, I’m happy to be back in the building and we’ve just got to keep it up.”While he was away from the team, Winston simulated live practices and ran it like they were Buccaneer practices. Like he stated today, he wasn’t about to let the guys still in the building outwork him while he was away. Give credit when credit is due, Winston took control and did something that many have never seen done before. It speaks volumes to how great he really wants to be. Winston commented on the practices today. “I did my best impersonation of what it would be like as an in-season schedule being here. I got the guys from Orlando-area. Ft. Lauderdale, Lakeland. Louis Murphy even came out there and threw a couple passes – brought him out of retirement – and we just went to work. I didn’t want the guys in this building to be working hard and I wasn’t out there doing my thing,” Winston said. “After every practice, I catered meals to my teammate just so I could have that team-bonding that I missed here. I feel like we had a pretty good plan together.”A big concern for many players either injured Justin Evans Jersey , or suspended, is coming back in football shape. It’s one thing to hit the weight room and stay active, but it’s another thing to do what Winston did. Coming back, he feels like he hasn’t missed a beat and is feeling great heading into week four. “ Yeah, I had some coaches come in. I did it like a real thing. I had George Whitefield [Jr.] come in. I had John Beck come in, so I got some individual work. I got my trainer Otis Leverette come in – he’s my personal trainer,” Winston said. “We worked hard. I went to work. Like I said, I couldn’t let these guys out work me even though they had the facilities and everything. I was fine with SkyWay doing our thing out there.”If Winston does start Sunday, which is not expected, rust won’t be a factor. He’s stayed active, he’s stayed engaged and he’s ready to take over the starting quarterback for this football team moving forward. The Bucs started their offseason workout program on Monday, which led to some new updates on the team."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections 2016 NFL DraftInjuriesFree AgencyGame FilmBuccaneers workout notes: McCoy absent, Hargreaves healthy and moreNew,8commentsThe Bucs started their offseason workout program on Monday, which led to some new updates on the team.EDTShareTweetShareShareBuccaneers workout notes: McCoy absent, Hargreaves healthy and moreJonathan Dyer-USA TODAY SportsSince they have a new head coach in 2019, the Buccaneers were able to start their offseason workout program earlier than teams with returning coaches. The team got back together for voluntary strength and conditioning on Monday as part of the offseason program’s “Phase I.”With select players available to the media in the afternoon, there was no shortage of news to help everyone through yet another day of the long, monotonous offseason. Here, we have some of the most noteworthy things to come out of the AdventHealth Training Center on Monday.Amid rumors about his future, Gerald McCoy is a no-show for the first day of workoutsand his excitement about playing under the new coaching staff. Interestingly enough Chris Godwin Jersey , he also noted that he thinks he will be a better fit for this new defense under Todd Bowles.Mike Evans addresses idea of playing defensive backThe topic of Mike Evans playing both offense and defense is one of the odder stories of this offseason, and the fact that it has persisted this long is equal parts strange and intriguing. The whole thing started with the Pro Bowl, when Evans came in on defense and ended up intercepting a pass. The Bucs themselves brought it back up Monday as an April Fool’s joke, tweeting that Evans really would be playing two positions this season.Jokes aside, Evans addressed the idea on Monday, saying that if the team wanted him to play defensive back in a situational role, he’d do it. He mentioned that he’d need to get some practice in, but that he is confident he could be an effective corner.Now, this doesn’t seem like something that will actually happen any time soon. Could it? Sure. But Evans is one of the most valuable guys on the roster today, so overworking him or putting him at higher risk of injury wouldn’t be the best idea. There’s no doubt that it would be fun, though. Jersey numbers for new additions releasedThe Bucs released jersey numbers of their new signings on Monday, with a couple of newcomers picking numbers of departing players.Deone Bucannon will wear No. 23, which most recently belonged to Chris Conte. Shaquil Barrett will wear No. 58, which was Kwon Alexander’s number. Kentrell Brice will have Brent Grimes’ No. 24, Blaine Gabbert gets DeSean Jackson’s No. 11, Phillip Andersen will take Chandler Catanzaro’s No. 7 and Andre Ellington will have Jacquizz Rodgers’ No. 32. Offseason workout dates announcedThe full schedule of offseason workouts was released for every NFL team Monday, so the Bucs now have their exact dates nailed down for the rest of the spring. They will run their voluntary minicamp from April 23-25. The last day of the camp will coincide with the first day of the 2019 NFL Draft. The team will have its OTAs from May 14-16, May 21-23 and May 28-31. Mandatory minicamp will be held June 4-6.
