The Bucs could certainly use Whitehead in a banged-up secondary that looks like it'll remain without S Antoine Winfield Jr. in Week 17 and also watched fill-in S Kaevon Merriweather leave Sunday night's game with a knee injury.

I'd need a full Whitehead practice before the weekend to trust him in any IDP lineups, though -- unless I'm digging pretty deep for options.
