The Tampa Bay Buccaneers designated safety Jordan Whitehead for a return from injured reserve Tuesday, opening his 21-day practice window.
Whitehead, 27, landed on IR on Nov. 29 due to a pectoral injury sustained in a Week 12 win against the New York Giants.
Whitehead has recorded 76 tackles and three passes defensed in 11 starts this season. He has 554 tackles and 11 interceptions in 104 games (100 starts) with the Buccaneers (2018-21, 2024) and New York Jets (2022-23).
With two games to play, the Buccaneers (8-7) are tied with the Atlanta Falcons for the NFC South lead. Tampa Bay hosts the Carolina Panthers (4-11) on Sunday.
