Buccaneers safety Jordan Whitehead was ruled out of Tampa Bay’s Week 12 matchup against the New York Giants with a pectoral injury. Whitehead tackled Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito just short of the endzone and immediately left the field while grabbing his chest.

How long will Jordan Whitehead be out?
We are unsure of his status at the time of posting this and don’t want to speculate. Whenever a clavicle injury is reported, and a player is reported out quickly it usually means that it could be broken.
When we know more after testing and the medical team updating the media, we will share it with you here on Bucs Wire.
Safety depth chart
Whitehead has started every game for the Bucs this year, though his play has been uneven at times. Secondary depth has been an issue all year, but Tampa Bay just signed Mike Edwards, who was drafted by the Bucs in 2019. He will likely replace Whitehead, who is playing next to Antoine Winfield Jr.
