Jordan Whitehead Expected To Play In Week 2
3 years agoTampa Bay Buccaneers safety Jordan Whitehead (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Whitehead missed the opener after sustaining a hamstring injury upon clearing the COVID-19 protocols during training camp but appears set to rejoin Tampa Bay's defensive backfield. The Pittsburgh product started all 16 games for the Buccaneers defense in 2020, posting career highs in tackles for loss, nine, interceptions, two, and forced fumbles, one. Whitehead figures to be a solid contributor to a defense that ranked sixth in the league in takeaways and ninth in total fantasy points last season. Tampa Bay's unit is a fine start in Week 2 against a Falcons offense that struggled mightily in their opening game.
