Headed to Tampa Bay
The Buccaneers signed Jordan to a contract Thursday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Jordan started in 11 games at left guard for the Patriots in 2024 before being waived in late November. He'll have the chance to establish a role for himself during training camp while Sua Opeta (knee) is sidelined.

Let go by New England
The Patriots waived Jordan on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
After being elevated from the practice squad to the active roster for Week 1 and 2, Jordan was signed to the active roster Sept. 16. He started at left guard in 11 games, but he is not part of the Patriots' plans for the rest of the 2024 regular season. Should he clear waivers, Jordan will look catch on with a team in need of offensive line depth. Layden Robinson, Sidy Sow and Lester Cotton are the top candidates to take over at left guard until Cole Strange (knee) returns from the reserve/PUP list.

Good to go for Week 5
Jordan (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
Jordan missed the Week 4 loss to the 49ers after leaving the Week 3 loss to the Jets early due to a knee injury. The veteran is cleared to suit up for Week 5 but will handle his usual reserve role now that Sidy Sow is healthy.
Sep 27, 2024
No go for Week 4
Jordan (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the 49ers.
ANALYSIS
Jordan suffered a knee injury in Week 3 against the Jets and he'll now be forced to miss at least one game. Sidy Sow (ankle) returned to practice this week, but if he can't go, Zach Thomas would likely draw the start at left guard.

Questionable to return Thursday
Jordan (knee) is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Jets, Mike Kadlick of CLNSMedia.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Jordan got the start at left guard with Sidy Sow inactive versus New York. Zach Thomas replaced Jordan once the latter went out, per Kadlick.
Dec 19, 2021
Available Sunday
Jordan (hamstring) Jonathan M. Alexander of The Charlotte Observer for Sunday's game against the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Jordan missed last week's matchup with the Falcons due to the hamstring injury, but his absence will be limited to one game. He should reclaim his starting spot at left guard now that he's healthy.
Dec 10, 2021
Won't play Sunday
Jordan (hamstring) has been ruled out of Sunday's contest against the Falcons, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Jordan wasn't able to practice at all this week, so his status for Sunday shouldn't come as a surprise. With Jordan and John Miller (ankle) out and Trent Scott on the COVID-19 list, Brady Christensen and Dennis Daley are expected to slide into the guard spots along the Panthers' offensive line.
Oct 4, 2021
Waived by Carolina
The Panthers waived Jordan on Monday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Jordan was a fourth-round pick by the Bengals in 2019, but he was waived by Cincy before the 53-man roster deadline this season. The 23-year-old latched on with Carolina, but he has once again found himself without a team.

Hits waivers
The Bengals waived Jordan on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The Bengals' former fourth-round pick and starting guard will hit waivers following a two-year stint with Cincinnati. Quinton Spain and Xavier Su'a-Filo should see starting roles and more snaps due to the waiving of Jordan.
Nov 11, 2020
Shakes off ailment
Jordan (illness) was absent from Wednesday's injury reports, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Jordan was a late scratch in Week 8 with the ailment the last opportunity to play in game action, but he now appears to be fully recovered. Now officially healthy, look for the Ohio State product to assume his usual starting role at left guard, leading the way for running backs Joe Mixon (foot) and Giovani Bernard for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Nov 1, 2020
Late scratch Sunday
Jordan is inactive for the Week 8 matchup against Tennessee due to an illness, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Jordan marks the fourth offensive starter in Cincinnati that will sit Sunday afternoon, which could mean dire straits for a rushing attack led by Giovani Bernard in the absence of Joe Mixon (foot). With Jordan sidelined as well, look for the Bengals to start an offensive line composed of Hakeem Adeniji, Shaq Calhoun, Billy Price, Alex Redmond and Fred Johnson.
Sep 26, 2019
Full practice
Jordan (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Jordan was inactive Week 3 due to a knee injury, but he now appears to have returned to full health. The rookie fourth-round pick is on track to start at left guard versus the Steelers on Monday.
Sep 22, 2019
No-go Sunday
Jordan (knee) is officially listed as inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Jordan was upgraded from out to questionable late in the week, suggesting he had a shot to play despite leaving Week 2's game with the knee injury. With Jordan sidelined, John Jarry is the likely man to receive the start at left guard
Sep 20, 2019
Now questionable for Week 3
Jordan (knee) has been upgraded to questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Bills, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Jordan started the week already having been ruled out, but it looks like he has progressed enough throughout the week to be upgraded. Given that the initial report said Jordan will miss "at least a week" it still seems unlikely that the lineman is active come Sunday.
Sep 16, 2019
Won't play Week 3
Jordan (knee) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Bills, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The report said Jordan will miss "at least a week", so his status for Week 4's game versus the Steelers is in jeopardy as well. Expect John Jerry to work in at left guard for the extent of Jordan's absence.
Sep 15, 2019
Done for day
Jordan (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game versus the 49ers.
ANALYSIS
The Bengals' offensive front takes another major hit. Expect Billy Price to shift over and finish the game at left guard. At the time of this report, the Bengals only have five healthy offensive linemen.
