Bucs safety, Pitt and Central Valley product Jordan Whitehead injured in car accident, out Sunday
TAMPA, Fla. — Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Jordan Whitehead was injured in a car accident Saturday and will not play against the Saints on Sunday.
The Buccaneers placed Whitehead on the reserve/non-football injury list and signed safety Ryan Neal from the practice squad.
Whitehead, a Pitt and Central Valley product, has 79 tackles, two tackles for loss and one quarterback hit in 12 games. He missed four games previously because of a pectoral injury and was expecting to return to play against New Orleans.
The Buccaneers would secure their fourth straight NFC South title with a win or tie against the Saints or if the Falcons lose or tie Carolina.
