Set to miss 2020 finale Sherman (calf) has been ruled out for San Francisco's regular-season finale against Seattle, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Impact It's now confirmed the five-time Pro Bowler will miss back-to-back games to close out his third campaign with the 49ers. Sherman sat out just three combined games over his first two years with the team, but a calf injury has held the 32-year-old to five appearances in 2020. With the veteran set to become an unrestricted free agent in March, it remains to be seen if Sherman has played his last game as a 49er.

Cardinals fairly healthy for pivotal game vs. 49ers
The Arizona Cardinals are fairly healthy as they try make a push for their first trip to the playoffs since 2015DECEMBER 26, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Confirmed out for Week 16 Sherman (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Cardinals.
Impact With San Francisco mathematically eliminated from NFC playoff contention, there's lessened motivation to rush back the three-time All-Pro. Sherman endured a calf injury earlier in the season that cost him nine games, and with yet another issue having surfaced, it's possible he's suited up for the last time as a 49er. The 32-year-old's contract is up at the end of 2020, while San Francisco sits at 16th in cap space moving into next season.

Battling calf injury Sherman (calf) didn't participate in Tuesday's practice.
Impact Sherman reported calf soreness after this past Sunday's 41-33 loss to the Cowboys. The veteran cornerback already missed nine games this year due to a calf injury, so there is expected concern about his health. As a result, Sherman's status for the rest of the season is in question, per Cam Inman of The Mercury News. The 32-year-old is set to be an unrestricted free agent in March and he has already stated that it would be a "miracle" if he re-signed with the 49ers this offseason. With the playoffs out of reach, Sherman may be best served by sitting out and ensuring he's at 100 percent next season.
