Report: Buccaneers Sticking With Ryan Fitzpatrick at Quarterback After Jameis Winston Returns

Ryan Fitzpatrick will remain the Buccaneers starting quarterback even after Jameis Winston returns from his three-game suspension in Week 4, according to multiple reports.

Jay Glazer of FOX said Fitzpatrick will stay under center for 2-0 Tampa Bay unless he does something "drastically bad." Jason La Canfora of CBS reports the team has not yet met to make a formal decision, but it expects to stick with Fitzpatrick as the signal caller for the short term.

Earlier this week, wide receiver DeSean Jackson said the team, "can't take the hot man out" in reference to Fitzpatrick, who led the NFL with 819 passing yards in the first two games.
