Free-agent S Jordan Whitehead has been fully-cleared to resume his football career after undergoing neck surgery, according to Mike Garafolo.
Garafolo adds that Whitehead has had workouts with both the Texans and the Colts, with more to come soon.
Whitehead, 29, 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. However, the Buccaneers cut him after just one year.
In 2024, Whitehead appeared in 12 games for the Buccaneers and recorded 79 total tackles, two tackles for loss and three pass deflections.
