The San Francisco 49ers were back at practice Thursday afternoon, and a notable name was added to the injury list. Cornerback Richard Sherman was a DNP and listed with a heel injury. By all accounts he was walking around fine, but he spent practice working on a side field.
My guess is this more precautionary than anything else, but Friday’s final injury report coupled with Kyle Shanahan’s end of week press conference will offer some clarity on Sherman’s status. If he is fine, so be it. If he develops into a question mark for Sunday, the 49ers have some serious issues at hand in the secondary.
