Bucs receive promising news regarding Jordan Whitehead’s injury

On Sunday, the injury to safety Jordan Whitehead seems worrisome, but the team got some positive news on Tuesday.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers cannot escape the clutches of the injury bug and it’s nasty web. Each week their seems to be a new injury popping up just as the defense looks to be building momentum.

The injury to safety Jordan Whitehead seemed worrisome on Sunday, but the team received some positive news on Tuesday.

Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports that Whitehead will miss significant time with a torn pectoral muscle but it will not need surgery. That means he could return for the playoffs if the Bucs were to make a run in the second half of the season.

The NFL has seen these types of injuries before, most notably to Steelers star pass-rusher T.J. Watt, who tore his pectoral muscle in 2022. He suffered the injury in Week 1 of that season and was able to return in Week 9 after missing seven games.

While no injury is the same, this does paint a timeline for the injury. It also gives the Bucs hope and motivation as they look to build a new winning streak into the playoffs starting on Sunday against the Panthers.

Vikings receive great news on final injury report before Week 11

On Friday, ahead of Week 11, the Vikings received their healthiest injury report of the season. 

The Minnesota Vikings have been battling injuries every week of the season on both sides of the ball. The team has gained back some players and then lost some other key ones as a form of trade on injury reports.

On Friday, ahead of Week 11, the Vikings received their healthiest injury report of the season.

The Vikings have just one player on the injury report: rookie edge rusher Gabriel Murphy, who is recovering from a knee injury this past offseason. He is still within his 21-day open practice window, so he wasn’t expected to be cleared this quickly.

The best part of the injury report was the removal of Sam Darnold (shoulder), Andrew Van Ginkel (hip), Blake Cashman (elbow), and  Aaron Jones (Ribs). All those key starters had lingering injuries, and their removal in the final report is a major win before Week 11 against the Titans.

They now will have a roster that is 7-2 and at full strength against a Titans roster that is 2-7.

Jaguars vs. Lions: Thursday injury reports

The Jaguars made no changes to their injury report between Wednesday and Thursday, with starting quarterback Trevor Lawrence (expectedly) and running back Tank Bigsby notably missing their second consecutive day of work.

  • RB Tank Bigsby (ankle) — did not participate

The Jaguars are trending toward listing a handful of players as questionable to play in Week 11, with starting left guard Ezra Cleveland and rookie defensive tackle Maason Smith’s statuses worth monitoring. Cleveland has missed Jacksonville’s last two games; Smith has been out for three weeks.

Lions injury report

  • OT Taylor Decker (shoulder) — full*
  • DT Brodric Martin (knee) — full
  • LB Malcolm Rodriguez (ankle) — full*
  • CB Emmanuel Moseley (pectoral) — full

The Lions added starting cornerback Carlton Davis to their injury report Thursday with a hurt hand, seemingly suffered during practice.

Vikings LB Blake Cashman is on the injury report again ahead of Week 11

Blake Cashman, who had missed two games this season with turf toe, was listed on the injury report on Wednesday.

The Minnesota Vikings’ first injury report of the week didn’t include anything too concerning or surprising. However, a name on the list was concerning, considering this player’s history and the fact that it was something new.

Blake Cashman, who had missed two games this season with turf toe, was listed on the injury report on Wednesday.

Cashman in his career has played just one full season, 2023, and we already have seen that 2024 will not be one regardless of this new injury. He was listed as a full-participant in prreactice but the team did discolse it was more of a walk through than an actual practice.

His designation on Thursday and Friday will be more telling as to what the significance of the injury is.

It isn’t looking this way but if he were to miss time then Ivan Pace Jr. would be the MIC again for the defense and Kamu Grugier-Hill would see more reps as well.

Running back Tank Bigsby, who was limited daily in Week 10 with an ankle injury and briefly exited against the Vikings, did not practice Wednesday.

  • OL Ezra Cleveland: OUT
  • DL Maason Smith: OUT

Analysis: While Jacksonville deemed Lawrence questionable for the game, Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson earlier Friday expressed doubt that he will be able to play.

“He’s been very limited all week. It is trending, obviously, in a way that’s probably to not playing or leaning towards not playing,” Pederson said about Lawrence. “But we’ll see today where he’s at.”

Jaguars starting left guard Ezra Cleveland will miss his second consecutive game after injuring his ankle in Week 8.

Pederson shared his belief that starting wide receiver Gabe Davis will be available after missing Week 9 with a shoulder injury.

Pederson also noted his expectation for wide receiver Devin Duvernay and safety Andrew Wingard to be activated from the injured reserve and play against Minnesota, barring any setbacks.

Vikings game statuses

Analysis: The Vikings’ inside linebacker tandem, Blake Cashman and Ivan Pace Jr., are questionable to face the Jaguars. So is Minnesota backup outside linebacker Gabe Murphy, who is designated to return from injured reserve.
