Santa Clara, California. – In a surprising turn of events, the San Francisco 49ers are putting cornerback Richard Sherman on the injured reserve with a leg injury, a league source told ESPN on Wednesday.
To land on the injured reserve, Sherman needs to miss at least the next three weeks under the league’s regulated injured reserve rules. The first move was reported by the NFL Network and he has been dealing with Sherman Calf strain.
Early Sherman Oct Kto. The Miami will return for a 5-week game against the Dolphins on the 11th. San Francisco coach Kyle Schnahan will take note of the media and Sherman’s situation on Wednesday at about 3:20 p.m.
Sherman’s injury came as a surprise when he played a loss 78 snap from Ari Zina in the team on Sunday and lost in the team’s defeat. Four snaps that Sherman missed when Arizona was on his knees to run the clock at the end of the game.
On Monday, Shannon did not mention any injury concerns about Sherman joining top receiver Debo Samuel (legs) at the injured reserve.
Sherman’s loss puts Ninars in an precarious position at Cornback, where P te Jason Verrett is dealing with a hamstring injury.
As of Wednesday morning, 49 people have just three other cornbaces on the active roster in Emmanuel Moseley, Ahkelo Witherspoon and K’Waun Williams.
Donta Johnson, who played last week after becoming one of the team’s two practice-squad call-ups, has statistics of being a candidate to play again and could replace Sherman on the roster until he returns.
Looking at Sherman’s history with Achilles’ injuries, Niners is wary of any potential lower leg issues. Sherman suffered a ruptured right Achilles in November 2017, then underwent cleansing surgery on his left Achilles and then had his gutter removed from his right Achilles after the 2018 season.
Sherman returned to form last season with 611 tackles, three interceptions and 14 passes when he was made the other team’s all-pro.
