Since Saturday’s collision, which resulted in his placement on the Bucs’ Non-Football Injury List, information regarding Bucs safety Jordan Whitehead’s vehicle accident and the injuries he incurred has been difficult to find.
So far.
According to Greg Auman, a reporter for Fox NFC South Sports, Whitehead was the cause of the car incident and sustained a cervical fracture in his neck.
“Whitehead was driving a Corvette to the Bucs facility around 9:30 a.m. and, according to Tampa police, ‘crashed into a GMC pickup truck’ as he turned at Dale Mabry and MLK,” Auman wrote on his X account. Due to “non-life-threatening injuries,” the other motorist was transported to the hospital. According to police, the crash caused $90,000 in damage. The citation does not necessitate a court appearance and carries a $163 fee.

Because of the neck injury he sustained in Saturday’s vehicle crash, Tampa Bay safety Jordan Whitehead is out for the year. Even if Tampa Bay was to make this year’s Super Bowl Whitehead would not be healed in time to participate a source told Pewter Report.
According to that source, Whitehead’s injury probably wouldn’t kill his career, but it’s too soon to know at this time.
After Tampa Bay defeated New Orleans 27-19 on Sunday, winning the NFC South division for the fourth time in a row, head coach Todd Bowles spoke about Whitehead’s predicament.
“It was difficult because Jordan has never been late in the six years that I’ve been here,” Bowles remarked. He is a perfect citizen and has never been in trouble. That was very regrettable because he is the one who assists everyone else. We
wish all the parties involved get well (and) get well fast.

“It was kind of a reality shock for us of how some things can be taken away from you at a moment’s notice. We discussed it (Saturday) night in a meeting. We talked about it. When you love somebody, they’re going to make a
error, and you must accept it while continuing to love them. We’re going to play for him, and he would have played for us.
