NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport provided an update Monday morning on injured San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman. The good news is that his injury is not long-term. The bad news is that the 49ers, who are likely to receive news on Monday that they will be without starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo for the remainder of the season, will be without their veteran cornerback for a few weeks.

Sherman suffered a mild calf strain, according to Rapoport.


Also providing an update was Jordan Schultz of ESPN.


Sherman needed assistance to get off of the football field at halftime during Sunday's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium. Head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters after the game that it was a calf injury but did not have any information beyond that.

Sherman has been targeted by opposing quarterbacks six times in his first season with the 49ers and given up just one reception for 18 yards, according to Pro Football Focus. Quarterbacks have a passer rating of 39.6 while targeting Sherman.

While no injury is good news, fans have to be relieved that the injury is unrelated to Sherman's Achilles injury suffered last November. Sherman will be back on the field for the 49ers this season.

The San Francisco 49ers likely aren't finished fortifying their defense and have reportedly expressed interest in bolstering their defensive backfield.
