Source: Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Richard Sherman to be out a few weeks with pulled hamstring
TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Richard Sherman will be out for a few weeks with a hamstring injury, a source confirmed to ESPN on Monday. An MRI confirmed the initial diagnosis for a pulled hamstring, suffered Thursday night in the Bucs' 28-22 win over the Philadelphia Eagles.
Sherman suffered the injury on the seventh play of the Bucs' first defensive series, pulling up while racing over to try to tackle Quez Watkins on a 23-yard reception.
It was Sherman's third game in 12 days after not having played or practiced in 288 days, which illustrates just how dire the Bucs' defensive backfield situation has become.
