San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman posted a video of himself on Instagram to show how his recovery from a ruptured Achilles sustained in November is going.
The video, which is accompanied by the text, "Getting there...", shows him running on the team's practice field in Santa Clara.
The 49ers hope to have Sherman ready to practice with his new teammates in time for the team's training camp, which kicks off in late-July. The cornerback hopes to return sooner. He previously targeted June (possibly earlier) for his return to the practice field.
The 49ers signed Sherman to an incentive-rich three-year deal on March 10, the day after the Seattle Seahawks released him. The seven-year veteran has been selected to four Pro Bowls and is a three-time first-team All-Pro. Sherman has registered 367 combined tackles, 32 interceptions, 99 passes defensed, a sack, and five forced fumbles over his career.
