San Francisco 49ers’ Pro Bowl corner Richard Sherman will remain on the injured reserve list for at least one more week. This was confirmed to reporters by 49ers’ head coach Kyle Shanahan on Monday.

Sherman landed on IR in Week 2 due to a calf injury, with the San Francisco hoping to have him back in time for Week 6 game against LA Rams. The 32-year-old corner, however, suffered a setback in his rehabilitation process last week that prevented him from returning to practice.

Shanahan told the media that he isn’t counting on Sherman this week, but hopes a change of treatment will help him return to action soon. 

“We were hoping to get him back this week,” said Shanahan. “Some setbacks last week, the healing hasn’t gone the way we were hoping for. I know we’re going to try a few different procedures this week, but I know I’m not counting on him this week. We’ll see how that goes with the new stuff we’re gonna try.”

This is a tough blow for the injury-riddled San Francisco 49ers, considering they are quite thin at cornerback. Besides Sherman, the 49ers are also without Emmanuel Moseley, who is dealing with a concussion, and K’Waun Williams, who is out due to a sprained knee.

In their absence, San Francisco had to turn to practice squad-signee Brian Allen and Jason Verrett. The duo started Week 5 game against Miami Dolphins but mightily struggled and allowed 350 yards and three touchdowns.

Although Seattle Seahawks won their Thursday’s game against the Arizona Cardinals, there wasn’t much reason for celebration. Their star cornerback Richard Sherman has left the game in the third quarter and didn’t return. It was later revealed that Sherman ruptured his Achilles tendon which will cause him to miss the rest of the season. He will undergo a surgery once the swelling from the injury goes away.

“No coming back from that until you get surgery,” – Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said. “He’s been a bastion of consistency, competitiveness, and toughness. We’re going to miss the heck out of him.“

There is no doubt that the Seahawks will miss their starting cornerback, especially since their injury list started being bigger with each passing game. Besides Sherman, left tackle Duane Brown and running back C.J. Prosise also left the game against the Cardinals early.

Sherman told the reporters that his Achilles has been bothering him for some time now, but he tried to avoid getting a drastic intervention.

“One of those things that you have to play through for as long as you can. When it goes, it goes.” – said Sherman. “I’ve put a lot of stress on it. Think it would have gone eventually.“

Richard Sherman never missed an NFL game since he was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in the round 5 of 2011 NFL draft. Previously he played college football for Stanford Cardinal football team. Despite low expectations and doubts about his ability, Sherman took NFL by surprise and had 17 passes defended, 4 interceptions and 55 tackles in 10 games played earning 2011 PFW All-Rookie Team selection. During his NFL career, Sherman won the Super Bowl XLVIII in 2013 while leading the league in interceptions, and received numerous individual honors like 4 Pro Bowl selections, 3 First-team All-Pro selections. Sherman’s career NFL statistics include 367 tackles, 99 passes defended, 32 interceptions and 2 touchdowns.
