The San Francisco 49ers lost several players to injury on Sunday, and the first report is in on one injury. Richard Sherman suffered a calf injury that is being described as a mild strain, according to NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport. The injury is expected to keep him out “a few weeks.”
There was some concern it was a bigger injury, but it appears he avoided anything too significant. It’s disappointing to lose him after what was a great start to the season. Opposing quarterbacks rarely targeted him, and when they did, he performed well in spite of last year’s Achilles injury.
