Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston was featured by himself in one of the team's promotional videos for the first time since serving a three-game suspension from the NFL for a violation of its personal-conduct policy. 

Jenna Laine of ESPN.com provided comments Winston, who allegedly groped a female Uber driver in 2016, made Thursday about his expected return to the starting lineup Sunday against the NFL South rival Atlanta Falcons.

"I'm thankful that I had the support of my teammates and the Bucs the entire time through the suspension," he said. "It's good that things are getting back to normal and we're able to move forward from there."

Here's a look at the video the Bucs posted Wednesday:

Winston didn't face criminal charges related to the alleged March 2016 incident, but the Uber driver filed a federal lawsuit last month seeking punitive damages for the "past, present and future emotional pain and suffering, and past and future economic losses," per A.J. Perez of USA Today.

Lawyers for the woman, listed as Kate P. in court documents, wrote in the suit the Buccaneers quarterback "placed his fingers between her legs and pressed them firmly against her vagina over her yoga pants" while they awaited a fast-food order.

Winston, who originally denied the allegation, included an apology to the female driver in a statement released after his suspension was announced.

"First and foremost, I would like to say I'm sorry to the Uber driver for the position I put you in. It is uncharacteristic of me and I genuinely apologize," he said. "I apologize to my teammates, the Buccaneers organization and fans for letting them down and for not being able to be out there for the first three games of the season."

The 24-year-old Florida State product returned to the Bucs' active roster for the team's Week 4 game against the Chicago Bears. He replaced Ryan Fitzpatrick during the 48-10 loss, completing 16 of 20 passes for 145 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions.

His last start came in Week 17 last season, a New Year's Eve victory over the New Orleans Saints.
