The incident occurred on Thursday, and the team has confirmed that Whitehead won’t be available for the upcoming game against the New Orleans Saints. Head Coach Bruce Arians addressed the situation, stating, ‘We’re all concerned about Jordan’s well-being. Our thoughts are with him and his family at this time.’ While specific details about the accident remain limited, sources indicate that Whitehead was hospitalized but did not sustain life-threatening injuries. He is expected to recover, but the exact timeline for his return to the field is uncertain.
