Jordan Whitehead: Healthy ahead of 2026
Whitehead is fully healthy ahead of the 2026 NFL season, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Whitehead missed the entirety of the 2025 season while getting back up to 100 percent physically after suffering a neck injury in a car accident in January 2025. He has had workouts with the Colts and Texans during the offseason so far, and he is expected to meet with additional teams in the near future. The safety last appeared in an NFL contest during the 2024 campaign, logging 79 total tackles (49 solo) and three passes defensed over 12 regular-season contests with the Buccaneers, and he's never finished with fewer than 69 total tackles in a season during his seven-year NFL career.

Jordan Whitehead: Medically cleared
Whitehead (neck) has been medically cleared of the injuries he sustained in a car accident in January, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Following the scary incident back in January, Whitehead is now ready to resume football activities. The 28-year-old was cut by the Buccaneers as a cap casualty in February after starting all 12 games he appeared in last season and recording 79 tackles. The safety has been reliable throughout his career starting each of the last 76 games he's been healthy for, and he'll visit the Falcons on Wednesday in search of his new home.

Jordan Whitehead: Will hit free agency
The Buccaneers informed Whitehead (neck) on Wednesday that his $3.75 million team option for 2025 will be declined, making him an unrestricted free agent when the new league year begins March 12, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Tampa Bay will move on from the soon-to-be 28-year-old safety after he started 12 games in 2024 and finished with 79 tackles (49 solo) and three pass breakups. He missed the team's regular-season finale and its loss to the Commanders in the wild-card round due to a neck injury sustained in a car accident, but his availability for the start of the 2025 season doesn't appear to be in any peril.

Buccaneers' Jordan Whitehead: Injures neck in car accident
The injury Whitehead suffered in an automobile accident Saturday is considered neck-related, though the issue is not believed to be a long-term concern, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Whitehead sustained the injury while driving to the Buccaneers' practice facility early Saturday and was placed on the reserve/non-football injury list later in the day, bringing an end to his 2024 season. While Whitehead's long-term prognosis is promising, his absence for Week 18 and a potential playoff run is another big hit to an injury-ravaged Tampa Bay secondary. The Buccaneers currently have three other defensive backs on injured reserve and have ruled out starting cornerback Jamel Dean (knee) and starting safety Antoine Winfield (knee) for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Buccaneers' Jordan Whitehead: Moved to NFI after auto accident
Whitehead (undisclosed) was involved in an automobile accident Saturday and was subsequently placed on the reserve/non-football injury list, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Whitehead had just returned from a four-game stint on injured reserve due to a pectoral injury, playing every defensive snap in his return last Sunday versus Carolina. The nature and severity of the injuries the safety suffered in Saturday's accident aren't yet clear, but Stroud reports that Whitehead isn't expected to return this season. Whitehead's health is obviously the most important concern for Tampa Bay, but from a football perspective it's also key to point out that the team is already very thin in the secondary with Antoine Winfield (knee), Christian Izien (pectoral) and Jamel Dean (knee) all also out for Sunday's critical clash against New Orleans. Kaevon Merriweather is likely to step into a starting role in Whitehead's stead.
