How do the Buccaneers handle Jameis Winston’s suspension during preseason games?

The Miami Dolphins will face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this Thursday in the preseason opener for both teams. While the starters for either team are not expected to play much - or maybe at all - during this game, the Buccaneers are facing an issue you never want to face as you prepare for the regular season. Tampa Bay starting quarterback Jameis Winston has been suspended for the first three games of the regular season, but he is allowed to practice throughout the summer as well as play in the preseason games; when the regular season starts, the Buccaneers will rely on Ryan Fitzpatrick under center.
