Jordan Whitehead Injured In Car Accident; Out For Sunday
January 4th, 2025
The Bucs announced this afternoon that starting safety Jordan Whitehead was involved in a car accident this morning and his resulting injuries are significant enough that the Bucs placed Whitehead on the non-football injury list.
As a result, Whitehead will not play in tomorrow’s win-and-in game against the Saints.
Details of the accident are unclear.

Hope guys step up , including his replacement they moved up! N hoping Shaq helps momentum 4 us!!
January 4th, 2025 at 2:33 pm
NO average 5 points for the last three games. I’m afraid very afraid. Lol
January 4th, 2025 at 2:35 pm
Their offense is so depleted and bad that Ryan Neal will have his best game of his career.
We got this!
January 4th, 2025 at 2:37 pm
Ryan Neal.. oof.
January 4th, 2025 at 2:39 pm
He better have been wearing his seat belt!
January 4th, 2025 at 2:41 pm
I sincerely hope Whitehead is ok – but dang! The injury bug has come at this team in every possible way this year!
January 4th, 2025 at 2:44 pm
Ryan Neal still cashing checks….
I’m on my way down Todd from NJ, I can give ya some plays tomorrow.
January 4th, 2025 at 2:54 pm
Look on the positive side, Ryan Neal should have lots of chances for a interception
January 4th, 2025 at 2:54 pm
Saints are dirty, prolly a fan t-boned Whitehead on purpose.
January 4th, 2025 at 2:57 pm
Damn. Not as big an issue as it could be tho. I’ve seen no worse from our 2nd and 3rd stringers at safety than when Winfield and Whitehead were back there.
More concerned about Josh Hayes at corner. He looked rough in preseason if I remember correctly but he does bring energy. Having said that let me be the 1st to predict Hayes will pick one off this Sunday 🤞🏼
January 4th, 2025 at 3:04 pm
Hayes is a huge liability. We better hope Dean and Winfield are back if we beat the Saints. Hope Joran is OK and this is just a precaution.
January 4th, 2025 at 3:15 pm
Just becoming another one of the players that come to Tampa to collect a check.
January 4th, 2025 at 3:30 pm
How does the Reserve NFI List work? When could Whitehead come back and play?
January 4th, 2025 at 3:36 pm
I hope he’s ok!!
January 4th, 2025 at 3:37 pm
Whitehead just came back from a 4 week injury last week. Dude is injury prone these days.
January 4th, 2025 at 3:37 pm
he’s out for the year
January 4th, 2025 at 3:38 pm
JimBob, it’s a multiple week injury, so he done this year. He’d miss the playoffs.
January 4th, 2025 at 3:40 pm
prayers for the dude…hopefully he will be ok…his health and safety is more important than football…
y’all are savages
January 4th, 2025 at 3:53 pm
Some of yall are truly weird…
Hope Jordan is okay, he was already injured and was playing through those. Hope the accident was just that an accident and not a racing or dui situation.
January 4th, 2025 at 4:44 pm
^ He was on his way to the team facility, ok? He was probably hit by someone else who will fall under that category. Hope its not serious.
January 4th, 2025 at 4:54 pm
Isn’t Izien playing this weekend??
I just looked at the Bucs injury report and he’s not even showing on there…
January 4th, 2025 at 4:57 pm
Oops never mind, I missed info on Bucs putting him on IR for pec injury….out 4 games minimum……..
Jesus, our secondary has taken a total BEATING this year with injuries……
January 4th, 2025 at 5:03 pm
We’ve lost:
Bryce Hall – decent corner (out for year)
Antoine Winfield – been out for most of the year
Jamel Dean – always injured & out again
Christian Izien – now on IR probably rest of year
Jordan Whitehead – been out for several games & out again..
Tykee Smith – was out for a few games
Our secondary is now out put together with band-aides and bubblegum……
No wonder we see the constant soft zone from Bowles….
Been having to keep it simple all year due to constant injuries in secondary..
January 4th, 2025 at 5:24 pm
Brutal. Man. Not exactly the year we expected from our secondary when the season started. Pathetic.

“No wonder we see the constant soft zone from Bowles….”
Are you daring to suggest that Bowles has to work with what is handed him?
While I agree with you that’s a trigger for many here lead by the Munchiacs.

“Whitehead just came back from a 4 week injury last week. Dude is injury prone these days.”
Injury prone? Perhaps but this is not indicative of that. I think you probably meant snake bit. While people jump on here weekly to berate our training staff for players suffering the same injuries as the rest of the league I don’t believe car crashes count. Just sayin.
Jamel Dean is injury prone! Whitehead has had a tough year but not an entire career like Dean full of injuries.
January 4th, 2025 at 6:20 pm
Disaster season for Whitehead and Winfield. Was really excited to see them back together and it’s pretty much been a lost year.
January 4th, 2025 at 6:24 pm
Tykee Smiths playing slot, Edwards deep safety, Merriwsather in the box Id guess
January 4th, 2025 at 6:25 pm
The offense should put up 30 plus so just blitz the f out of them
January 4th, 2025 at 6:27 pm
Ryan Neal is actually playing better this year then he did in ‘23
January 4th, 2025 at 6:50 pm
Unfortunately, I must admit, Whitehead was a super promising signing this past offseason who has been a bust. Although I hope for a speedy recovery, he really won’t be missed.

How is a car accident injury prone? 🤡
January 4th, 2025 at 7:01 pm
We just can’t catch a break this year
January 4th, 2025 at 7:30 pm
No fan of Bowles but I think other people’s sentiments in here in regards to Bowles essentially being handcuffed is 100% fair. He really has no choice. I have to imagine that he’d be mixing up coverages and playing a bit more press if he had anyone that was worth a damn. This is the yr they needed all pro play from Antoine wi field the most and they have gotten approximately zero from him, and approximately jack shi from Jordan whitehead. I’d love nothing more than a change, but the players’ complete inability to stay healthy has f’d bowles over
January 4th, 2025 at 7:47 pm
Only one starter on the field. Barely second teamers even. At least it’s NO’s second team offense against our second team defense. We should be fine. Go Bucs!!
January 4th, 2025 at 7:49 pm
So how does the draft look this year?
January 4th, 2025 at 7:53 pm
Winfield got his cash and we have no dependable backups. Please don’t go looking for free agents.
January 4th, 2025 at 8:17 pm
Y’all always looking for a hero to put on a pedestal and a villain to beat on. Example: Shaq vs JTS, you love to imagine the chosen son is coming home to resume his dominance….in 2023, JTS and Shaq had virtually the same stats. Example: Winfield vs Dean. Since 2020, Winfield has missed 13 games….since 2013, Dean has missed 13 games. Just because you continue to say the same thing over, and over and over, doesn’t make you right.
With that said….all jts and Dean are meh. Shaq and Winfield overhyped 1 season wonders
January 4th, 2025 at 8:29 pm
Aints will be motivated due to senseless act of violence on New Year’s day. Bucs MUST be focused and vigilant and play like there’s no tomorrow. Put them away early and often to make them play tryout players for next year by halftime.

They most certainly do. At this point he could roll over in bed and be placed on IR. Even though it was off the field, if he were not injury prone he may not have had to missed more than a game.
January 4th, 2025 at 8:49 pm
The only thing that worries me with the Saints and playoffs is our secondary. Can’t wait till they fix it this off season.
January 5th, 2025 at 4:15 am
Sad to hear, and on his way to practice. Hope Jordan recovers well.
January 5th, 2025 at 9:06 am
Weird to instantly put him on IR with very few details other than the fact that it seemed to be no severe injuries. Hopefully it wasn’t something like racing or a dui. Just seems like the prudent thing would have been to wait a bit instead of immediately putting him on IR.
January 5th, 2025 at 12:04 pm
Crash details: He was southbound on Dale Mabry and attempting to turn left (east) on to MLK Blvd, and was struck by an oncoming vehicle. Whiplash type injury. Info was posted by CBS.com, Pittsburgh

Thank you John.
