Buccaneers’ QB Winston aggravates shoulder sprain

- The Associated Press

Jameis Winston couldn’t help the reeling Tampa Bay Buccaneers end their losing streak.

Winston left Sunday’s game at New Orleans with shoulder soreness after the first half. Winston was 7 of 13 for 67 yards and the Bucs’ extended their losing streak to five games in a 30-10 rout. Ryan Fitzpatric­k replaced him.

Winston sprained the AC joint in his right shoulder Oct. 15 at Arizona, and he landed hard on the shoulder when he was sacked in the final minute of the first half against the Saints.

“It’s the same thing that’s been happening every week,” Winston said. “I don’t know whose call it was, but they pulled me.”

Starting defensive end William Gholston was carted off the field with a neck injury. Bucs coach Dirk Koetter said Gholston, who moved his arms and legs while the Bucs medical staff treated him on the field, was getting neurologic­al tests at a hospital.

Also, left tackle Donovan Smith went out with a knee injury.

Meanwhile, Saints left tackle Terron Armstead took himself out of the game with a chest injury late in the first half, but said after the game that he was hurt on his first play and tried to play through it. In the third quarter, safety Kenny Vaccaro went out with a groin injury.

Other injuries Sunday:

■ Cowboys: Star receiver Dez Bryant left his team’s 28-17 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs with a sprained ankle in the third quarter, and defensive tackle Brian Price was helped off the field after a knee injury in the fourth quarter.
