Injuries hamper 49ers in lopsided loss to Dolphins

San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan opted to start quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo despite a bum ankle and held cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon out at the start with a sore hamstring

OCTOBER 12, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Unlikely to play Week 6 Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Sherman (calf) has endured "some setbacks" and isn't expected to play Sunday versus the Rams, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 49ers' secondary could desperately use Sherman back in the lineup, as it was torched for 350 passing yards by Ryan Fitzpatrick in this past Sunday's 43-17 loss to the Dolphins. However, the 32-year-old can't seem to shake the calf strain and is expected to miss a fifth straight game. Shanahan relayed that Sherman won't need surgery but could receive shots to help ease the inflammation issues that have caused the extended absence, according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com.

Garoppolo returns to practice for 49ers on limited basis

Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo has returned to practice on a limited basis for the San Francisco 49ers after missing two games with a sprained ankle

Not ready to come back Sherman (calf) won't come off IR when he's first eligible to do so Sunday against the Dolphins, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Sherman said his return isn't imminent, as the 49ers are more concerned with his long-term health and ability to be a contributor late in the season than with rushing the veteran cornerback back as soon as possible. His next opportunity to come off IR will be before a Week 6 clash with the Rams, but there's a good chance Sherman won't be ready then, either.

Impact When discussing Sherman's ability to play in the team's Week 5 matchup against Miami, Shanahan replied "we'll see." Sherman has been absent with the injury since playing in 78 of 82 defensive snaps in Week 1 against Arizona.
