Sherman (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran cornerback will end up missing just one full game with his hamstring injury and returns from his temporary Week 7 assistant coach role to active status Sunday. Sherman has collected 11 tackles and a fumble recovery through his first two-plus contests in Tampa Bay and will look to help slow down an improving and increasingly healthier Saints passing attack Sunday.

Sherman (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran cornerback was a limited participant at practice all week, so he should be able to suit up Sunday at New Orleans. Ross Cockrell and Pierre Desir would have increased roles should Sherman end up missing his second straight contest.

Sherman (hamstring) was able to practice in a limited fashion Wednesday, Carmen Vitali of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 33-year-old missed last week's victory over the Bears, but he may have a shot at playing versus the Saints on Sunday. If he can't go in Week 8, Pierre Desir and Jamel Dean will be the top options once again at cornerback.

Coach Bruce Arians said Monday that Sherman (hamstring) could return for Sunday's Week 8 contest against the Saints, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sherman was unable to play in Sunday's win over the Bears after he pulled a hamstring against Philadelphia in Week 6. Although he was initially expected to miss multiple weeks, Arians said that the cornerback could "possibly" return in Week 8. If the 33-year-old remains out against the Saints, he'll be able to continue his recovery during Tampa Bay's Week 9 bye.

Sherman (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sherman suffered a pulled hamstring during the Week 6 win over Philadelphia, and it's not a surprise he won't be suiting up Sunday. Pierre Desir and Dee Delaney should have increased roles in the secondary in his absence.

Sherman had his initial diagnosis of a pulled hamstring confirmed by the results of Monday's MRI, and he is expected to miss multiple weeks, Jenna Laine of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sherman has yet to officially be ruled out for Week 7 by the Buccaneers, but it seams within the realm of possibility that the team could end up placing him on IR in the coming days. Carlton Davis (quadriceps) isn't eligible to come off IR until Week 8 at the earliest, while a timetable for the return of Sean Murphy-Bunting (elbow) remains undisclosed.

Sherman (hamstring) will undergo an MRI on Friday, and the expectation is that he will miss some time, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran cornerback joined Tampa Bay to help fill in for injuries elsewhere in the secondary, and he handled an immediate starting role but was forced to exit Thursday's win over the Eagles due to a hamstring issue. If Sherman can't go versus Chicago in Week 7, Ross Cockrell will likely take on an expanded role.

Sherman has been ruled out of Thursday's game at Philadelphia due to a hamstring injury, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

In his third appearance with the Buccaneers, Sherman didn't last more than one drive following a tackle on a Quez Watkins 23-yard catch. Sherman promptly went to the locker room and shortly thereafter was deemed unable to reenter the contest. It's likely that Ross Cockrell steps in for Sherman opposite Jamel Dean.

Sherman recorded seven tackles (all solo) and recovered a fumble in Tampa Bay's 19-17 win over the Patriots on Sunday night.

EDGE Analysis

Sherman ended up going from signing with the Buccaneers on Wednesday to playing in 98 percent of the defensive snaps four days later. The veteran cornerback's immediate hefty workload was necessitated by the absence of Jamel Dean (knee) and the in-game exit of Carlton Davis (abdomen/ribs/quadriceps), and Sherman ended up co-leading the team in tackles while also coming up with a loose ball early in the third quarter on a fumble forced by Antoine Winfield on J.J. Taylor. With Davis and Dean both iffy for Sunday's Week 5 matchup against the Dolphins, it's certainly conceivable that Sherman plays another full complement of snaps versus Miami.

Coach Bruce Arians said Friday that Sherman will be active for Sunday's contest against the Patriots, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sherman will be active for Week 4 after signing with the Buccaneers on Wednesday. Tampa Bay will be without two of its top three cornerbacks in Jamel Dean (knee) and Sean Murphy-Bunting (elbow), so the 33-year-old veteran could be thrust into a prominent role right away. However, it's unclear if Sherman will be ready for a full starter's workload, so Ross Cockrell and Dee Delaney could once again play a large role in Tampa Bay's secondary against the rookie Mac Jones.
