TAMPA, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have placed veteran cornerback Richard Sherman on injured reserve with an Achilles injury, the team announced Tuesday.
Because it's his second stint on IR, Sherman will not return this season, per league rules. He will, however, remain with the team throughout the postseason, continuing to assist the defensive backs who have largely benefited from his presence since joining the team in Week 4, with several of them affectionately calling him "Coach Sherm."
"Didn't go how I wanted it to but I'm grateful for the opportunity to strap it up again!
