Few people may know why Jameis Winston's half-game suspension turned into a full-game suspension, but he is set to be restored to his starting position Monday.

According to ESPN, Florida State Seminoles head football coach Jimbo Fisher confirmed Winston's return to team activities in his post-game news conference. It took overtime to do so, but the Seminoles held off their ACC rival Clemson 23-17 with Sean Maguire playing the whole game under center.

"He'll be back at practice Monday and be our quarterback on Monday," Fisher said in a five-minute post-game media session.

Fisher would not elaborate on why Winston's suspension was lengthened, while interim president Garnett S. Stokes and athletic director Stan Wilcox declined to comment. Unnamed sources told ESPN the suspension was extended from the first half to the whole game because the reigning Heisman Trophy winner was not fully honest about the incident he was in trouble for.

Several students took to Twitter on Tuesday to report that Winston had gotten up on a table in the student union and shouted an obscene joke. Deadspin was first to report, but be forewarned, the article contains strong language that is sexual in nature.

Winston has found himself in trouble several times of late, but has yet to be arrested, the most serious of which was being named as the assailant in a sexual assault complaint. Though no criminal charges were brought forward, the school is currently investigating the matter and Florida State is under federal review for compliance with the Title IX gender equity law.

Winston also tried to take the field before the Clemson game in full uniform and pads, but Fisher dismissed him from the field. Winston appeared shortly after in his Seminoles jersey, no pads and sweatpants.

"When your players misstep, you balance education - which we do a lot, more than anybody in America - with punitive measures, and they understand there's consequences. I don't condone any of the comments Jameis made earlier this week and how or where he chose to make them," Fisher said. "At the end, we felt the one game made the most sense, and I chose to keep that process internal... Our hope and belief is Jameis will learn from this and use better judgment and language and decision-making and have respect for everything and continue to grow."
