Sherman (Achilles) didn't practice Wednesday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Bruce Arians wouldn't provide any clarity on how servere Sherman's injury is, but there doesn't appear to be too much cause for concern. The missed practice could just be a precautionary move as he works back from a serious calf issue. The veteran cornerback returned to action against the Bills for the first time since Week 6, playing a minimal role (25 percent of the team's defensive snaps).

Sherman (calf) was activated from injured reserve Friday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sherman has been sidelined by the calf injury since Week 6, but he returned to practice this week and is now back on the active roster. The veteran cornerback should reclaim a significant role in Tampa Bay's secondary now that he's healthy.

Sherman (calf) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Bruce Arians indicated Monday that Sherman could be activated from injured reserve soon, and he'll now be able to rejoin the Buccaneers for practice. A clear timetable for his return to game action hasn't yet been established, but he'll need to be activated within 21 days if he hopes to return this season.

Coach Bruce Arians said Monday that Sherman (calf) could be activated from injured reserve soon, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sherman has been on injured reserve since Week 14 but has been targeting a Week 14 return. While it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to return against the Bills on Sunday, he appears to be trending in the right direction. Once the 33-year-old is cleared to resume practicing, he's expected to start learning the safety position to make him a more versatile option in the Buccaneers' defense.

Sherman (calf) feels "really good" and is planning to return in Week 14 against the Bills as long as he gains medical clearance, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sherman's return to game action will be precipitated by his being removed from IR. As long as his medicals check out, the veteran cornerback should be back after missing the minimum three weeks required for a stint on IR. Whether he occupies a starting or reserve role upon coming back remains to be seen.

Sherman (calf) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sherman suffered a Grade 2 calf strain while warming up for Sunday's loss to Washington, and he'll now be sidelined for at least the next three games. Pierre Desir is poised to take on a larger workload at cornerback for Tampa Bay in his absence.

Sherman has a Grade 2 calf strain, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sherman underwent an MRI on Tuesday, which confirmed the strain. He'll likely be out multiple weeks, per Auman. Pierre Desir is in line for more playing time as a result.

Sherman (calf) will undergo an MRI on Sunday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sherman was unable to take the field in Sunday's loss to Washington after he injured his calf during pregame warmups. The team will likely have a better idea of the nature and severity of his injury following Tuesday's examination.

Sherman injured his calf his pregame warmups and won't be available Sunday against Washington, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sherman dealt with a hamstring injury earlier this season and had his 2020 campaign derailed by a calf issue, so it's discouraging that he's dealing with yet another lower-body injury. Pierre Desir will likely start at cornerback opposite Jamel Dean in Sherman's stead.

Sherman (hamstring) did not log a snap during the Buccaneers' 36-27 loss to the Saints in Week 8 despite being declared active for the contest, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Head coach Bruce Arians conceded after the game that Sherman probably wasn't ready to be declared active, but at least he didn't enter the game and cause himself further injury, as teammate Rob Gronkowski did. The Week 9 bye certainly comes at an opportune time for Sherman, who'll presumably have a good chance at being back to full health by the time the Week 10 road matchup against Washington unfolds.
