Whitehead does not have surgery scheduled after sustaining a ruptured pectoral during Sunday's game against the Giants, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
It was feared that Whitehead would have to shut his season down after suffering a serious injury in Week 12, but there's a chance he could return this year if Tampa Bay makes a playoff run. In the meantime, his absence could propel Mike Edwards into a starting role at safety.
