Jameis Winston hasn't missed a start in his first two-and-a-half seasons in the NFL. That's about to change and, given his highly competitive nature, it probably won't be easy for him. However, accepting the decision to shut down his injured right shoulder for a couple weeks wasn't hard for Winston at all.

After Winston hurt his shoulder for the second time in four games on a hard hit in New Orleans last Sunday, the team chose to shut their third-year passer down for at least two weeks. Veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick will start in his place, beginning this Sunday against Fitzgerald's former team, the New York Jets.
