Buccaneers Safety Jordan Whitehead Likely Out for Season with Torn Pectoral

The 27-year-old defensive standout sustained the injury during Tampa Bay's victory over the Giants, with MRI results pending confirmation.

Jordan Whitehead, Tampa Bay Buccaneers' starting safety, is feared to have torn a pectoral muscle in Sunday's game against the New York Giants, potentially ending his season.
The injury occurred late in the fourth quarter as Whitehead made a tackle at the 1-yard line, with the team awaiting MRI results for confirmation.
Whitehead has been a key defensive player for the Buccaneers this season, recording 76 tackles and three pass deflections through 11 games.
Tampa Bay recently claimed veteran safety Mike Edwards off waivers, who is expected to step up in Whitehead's absence and has prior Super Bowl experience with the team.
The Buccaneers, with a 5-6 record, remain in contention for the NFC South title, trailing the Atlanta Falcons by just one game as they prepare to face the Carolina Panthers next week.
