Bucs GM says Jameis Winston may not start Week 4 after suspension

TAMPA, Fla. -- Despite a strong showing from quarterback Jameis Winston in the preseason, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are not committing to a starter in Week 4 when he returns from his three-game suspension.

Speaking on the Buccaneers' television broadcast on WFLA TV Thursday night, general manager Jason Licht said, "I don't think it's fair to say right now that he's going to be the guy."

Ryan Fitzpatrick, who won 2-of-3 starts for them last season while Winston was recovering from a shoulder injury, will get the nod to start this season.
