Jordan Whitehead the star safety of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was badly injured this morning when traveling into practice.
According to Rick Stroud, the Buccaneers are placing Whitehead on Injured Reserve and signed Ryan Neal from their practice squad to their active roster.
Whitehead returned to active duty last week after missing four weeks while on injured reserve. He had 79 tackles and three passes defensed in his 12 appearances this year.
The Bucs are also going to be without safety Antoine Winfield Jr. and cornerback Jamel Dean on Sunday.
