The Buccaneers signed Whitney to the practice squad Wednesday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Whitney spent the offseason in Houston but wasn't able to make the final team, and he'll now get a chance to continue his development with Tampa Bay. The second-year wideout is still looking for an opportunity to make his NFL debut.
The Texans cut Whitney on Saturday.
Analysis: Whitney spent training camp competing for a role in Houston's deep receiving corps, but he was ultimately unable to stick. He hasn't seen regular-season action since appearing in two games with the Raiders in 2017.
Whitney (wrist) cleared waivers reverted to the Texans' injured reserve Sunday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Whitney was waived/injured on Saturday after being carted off the field with a wrist injury. The wideout will likely remain on IR all season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the team.
Whitney was waived with an injury designation by the Texans on Saturday due to an injured wrist.
Analysis: Whitney was unable to participate in several training camp sessions after injuring his hand/wrist earlier in the week, so the Texans ultimately decided to waive-injure the depth wideout in order to sign inside linebacker B.J. Bello.
Whitney was carted off the field Thursday with an apparent hand injury, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Whitney reportedly injured his hand in a one-on-one drill against Bradley Roby. It's unclear just how serious the issue is or how long the 25-year-old will need to recover. The injury obviously comes at a bad time for Whitney, who's trying to make Houston's active roster after spending most of the 2018 campaign on the practice squad.
The Texans signed Whitney to a future/reserve contract Tuesday.
Analysis: Whitney signed with Houston's practice squad in September and remained there for the duration of the season. The wide receiver joined the Raiders as an undrafted free agent in 2017, appearing in two games but failing to record a statistic. He'll have an opportunity to make the Texans' roster in 2019.
The Texans signed Whitney to their practice squad Tuesday.
Analysis: To make room for Whitney on the practice squad, the Texans released receiver Malachi Dupre. Whitney signed as an undrafted free agent by the Raiders in 2017 and was active for two games.
