Jordan Whitehead Injury History & Analysis

Buccaneers S Jordan Whitehead will miss "multiple weeks" with injuries suffered in a car accident early Saturday, according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. The team is placing Whitehead on the non-football injury list, which will likely knock him out through the playoffs.

The Buccaneers have designated S Jordan Whitehead to return from IR. That opens a three-week window for deciding whether to return Whitehead to the active roster. We'll see whether he's ready to play Sunday against the Panthers.

Buccaneers S Antoine Winfield Jr. is active for today's game against the Saints. He has been out since suffering a high ankle sprain late in Week 1. S Jordan Whitehead (groin) and DT Calijah Kancey (calf) are also active. It'll be Kancey's first appearance of the season.

The Jets are signing former Packers S Adrian Amos to a one-year deal worth "up to" $4 million, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. That's likely enough money to give Amos a shot at winning a starting job. But it's less than the 2023 cap hit for S Chuck Clark, whom the Jets acquired from the Ravens in March for a 2024 seventh-round pick. S Jordan Whitehead got a one-year $5.25 million contract from the Jets in free agency. We'll see how the Jets sort their safeties through the summer, but we're not currently projecting Amos to start in our 2023 IDP rankings.

Jets DT Quinine Williams (foot), EDGE John Franklin-Myers (toe, quad) and S Jordan Whitehead (calf) are questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals. All 3 finished the week with a full practice, which bodes well for their chances. We'll check their status Sunday morning.
