Winston happy to be back, with Bucs' success

TAMPA, Fla. -- On his first day back at practice following three-game suspension, Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston was asked how he'd handle possibly being the second-string quarterback behind Ryan Fitzpatrick.

"The most important thing is the success we are having," said Winston. "I'm just happy to be back, man. I'm happy that I can be a part of that. I'm not watching from a distance. I can be here with my teammates."

Head coach Dirk Koetter hasn't officially named a starter for Week 4 against the Chicago Bears, but a shortened week, along with the Bucs' 2-1 start with Fitzpatrick have led some to believe that they'll continue to go with the 35-year-old signal-caller for at least another week.
