Tampa Bay Buccaneers Safety Jordan Whitehead Placed on Non-Football Injury List After Automobile Accident

Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Jordan Whitehead has been dealt another blow in a season marred by injuries. Whitehead was involved in an automobile accident on Saturday, resulting in significant injuries that have landed him on the team’s Non-Football Injury List. While the exact details of the accident remain unknown, Whitehead is confirmed to be okay overall but will be sidelined for “multiple weeks”, effectively ending his season just one game after his return from a pectoral injury.

Whitehead, who joined the Buccaneers in the 2024 offseason after two years with the New York Jets, has struggled with injuries throughout the season. From quad injuries to the pectoral injury suffered against the Giants, Whitehead’s season has been plagued by setbacks. With Whitehead now out, Tampa Bay’s top three safeties at the start of the year will not be available for the upcoming game against the New Orleans Saints.

As the Buccaneers navigate Whitehead’s absence, fans can stay updated on the team’s progress by following BucsGameday on Twitter and Facebook. The team will now rely on the remaining safeties to step up in Whitehead’s absence as they push forward in the season.
