Tampa Bay Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht said running back Doug Martin will not be guaranteed a starting spot when he returns from his suspension in Week 4.
"It might not," Licht said, per Dan Graziano of ESPN.com. "Look, he has done everything we've asked him to do, and he looks reminiscent of 2015 when he was playing for his contract. He looks the same out there, mentally and physically. So he might be one of those guys that needs a carrot.
"And he's got a pretty big carrot in front of him right now, because there's no guarantees that he's going to be here.
