Whitehead (calf) recorded eight tackles (five solo), including one for loss, in the Buccaneers' 9-0 loss to the Saints on Sunday night.
Whitehead was in on each of the defense's 61 snaps during the contest in his return from a two-game absence due to a calf injury. His presence was particularly timely on a night when fellow safety Antoine Winfield (foot) was unable to suit up, and Whitehead now has at least eight stops in four of his last five contests. The 2018 fourth-round pick figures to be busy again in Week 16 against the Panthers on the road.
