San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman is 32 years old and is showing signs of age. For the third straight season, the 2011 fifth-round draft pick missed games due to injury, albeit he was mostly healthy in 2019 compared to his first season with the Niners in 2018.
If he were to be injured at any point this year for an elongated length of time, however, general manager John Lynch will need to find his replacement.
Injury timeline
Last year during the Niners victory of the New Orleans Saints the All-Pro cornerback missed only one game to injury.
