This opens a three-week window for him to practice with the team before he has to be added to the active roster.
He’s working his way back from a torn pectoral muscle and avoided season-ending surgery.
Whitehead, 27, is a former fourth-round pick of the Buccaneers out of Pittsburgh back in 2018. He played out the final year of his four-year, $3.1 million rookie contract.
Whitehead was set to be an unrestricted free agent in 2022 when he signed a two-year, $14.5 million deal with the Jets.
After that deal expired, he returned to Tampa Bay on a two-year, $9 million contract worth up to $10.5 million in incentives.
In 2024, Whitehead has appeared in 11 games for the Buccaneers and recorded 71 tackles.
