Jameis Winston’s coach says shoulder tests were news to him

The condition of quarterback Jameis Winston’s throwing shoulder became a thing a moment ago, when ESPN’s Chris Mortensen reported Winston was getting more tests to determine the cause of weakness.

But the guy who has seen Winston throw more than anyone lately isn’t sure it’s a big deal.

Quarterback tutor George Whitfield said the report was “news to me,” and that “I just think they’re being precautious.”

Whitfield said Winston last threw on Tuesday, but he didn’t see any signs of a medical problem.

“He’s actually getting stronger,” Whitfield said.

This will make Winston’s interview here even more interesting, whenever it happens.
