Vying for a 53-man roster spot at a safety position already seeking extra depth, Jermaine Whitehead was sidelined during the second quarter of the Green Bay Packers’ exhibition opener with a back injury against the Tennessee Titans. He is listed as questionable to return.
Without long-time veteran Morgan Burnett in 2018, Green Bay was already stricken by the injury bug early in camp when Kentrell Brice suffered an ankle injury. In his second season with the Packers, Whitehead was next in line for a role at safety and had a strong showing in the Packers’ annual Family Night practice with several successful blitzes from the slot.
