Sherman pled guilty Monday in King County (Wash.) Superior Court to two charges and an infraction stemming from a July 2021 arrest, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The charges included negligent driving in the first degree and criminal trespass in the second degree, while Sherman also received an infraction for speeding in a roadway construction zone. The off-field concerns kept him away from football until the Buccaneers came calling in September in the midst of a number of injuries within their secondary. But hamstring, calf and Achilles issues of his own contained Sherman to five appearances, which translated to 11 tackles, one interception and one fumble recovery. With his legal issues behind him, it remains to be seen if the soon-to-be 34-year-old will garner much interest on the free-agent market.

Sherman (Achilles) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, ending his 2021 season, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The cornerback will now be unavailable for the Buccaneers as they attempt to win their second consecutive championship. Sherman only appeared in five games this season after signing with the team in September, making 11 tackles, deflecting a pass, recovering a fumble and recording an interception. Ross Cokrell and Jamel Dean (hamstring) will continue seeing extra run in the team's secondary.

EDGE Analysis

Sherman took the field last week against the Panthers despite dealing with the Achilles injury, but he played only three defensive snaps and is now unlikely to play this weekend. Carlton Davis and Ross Cockrell should work as Tampa Bay's top cornerbacks this weekend with Sean Murphy-Bunting (illness) on the COVID-19 list.

Sherman (Achilles) will take the field Week 16 against Carolina.

EDGE Analysis

Sherman did not take the field last week against New Orleans after logging 19 snaps in the previous contest against Buffalo, but he was a limited participant in practice this week and will ultimately be cleared to take the field. The Tampa Bay secondary is getting closer to full strength, especially at the cornerback position, though safety Antoine Winfield (foot) won't be suiting up Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Sherman (Achilles) is doubtful for Sunday against the Saints, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sherman hasn't practice all week with the injury. How much of that is the severity of the injury versus keeping the veteran, who just returned from IR in Week 14, fresh will likely have to wait until Sunday. If Sherman is unable to play, Carlton Davis and Ross Cockrell will likely see extra snaps in the secondary.
