The Tampa Bay Buccaneers aren't expected to officially announce their quarterback for Week 4 until later in the week, but it's looking like they'll stick with veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Jameis Winston has served his three-game suspension for violating the league's personal conduct policy, but the Bucs don't have to add him to their roster until Friday. Head coach Dirk Koetter said he doesn't want to tip off the Chicago Bears, Tampa's next opponent, and won't reveal his quarterback decision early.

Fitzpatrick has led his team to a surprise 2-1 start while throwing for 400-plus yards in all three contests. However, after eight touchdown passes and only one interception through the first two games, he threw three TDs and three picks on Monday night in a Week 3 loss.
