Records INT in return Sherman posted seven tackles (six solo), a pass breakup and an interception in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Rams.
Impact After 10 games on IR, Sherman made his presence known in his return to the lineup with his 36th career interception. It was immediately a boost to the 49ers' defense, which held Jared Goff to a season-low 198 passing yards to combine with no touchdowns and two picks. Sherman will look to keep it rolling in another tough matchup against the Bills in Week 13.

Set for Week 12 return Sherman (calf) is active heading into the 49ers' Week 12 matchup against the Rams.
Impact Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Sunday morning that Sherman was expected to face Los Angeles, rendering his activation for Week 12 a welcomed formality. The three-time All-Pro cornerback has been unavailable since suiting up in the season opener against Arizona, making his return a long-awaited boost for a 4-6 San Francisco team that is desperate for a divisional win. He'll be tested from the start after the Rams had two receivers -- Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods -- go for 130-plus receiving yards (with a TD catch from Woods) last Monday night against the Buccaneers.

On track for Week 12 Sherman (calf), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact The 49ers foreshadowed Sherman's return to the lineup by activating him from injured reserve Saturday, but Rapoport's report at least seems to confirm that the cornerback won't merely be serving as an emergency depth option for a banged-up secondary. Since Sherman missed nine straight games prior to the 49ers' Week 11 bye, however, he could be eased back into the lineup with a slightly more limited snap count than usual.

Officially back from IR Sherman (calf) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, Keiana Martin of the 49ers' official site reports.
Impact Coach Kyle Shanahan said Friday that Sherman would be activated from injured reserve this weekend and is considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, so things are going according to plan to far. The veteran cornerback may need to be cleared via a pregame workout to avoid the inactive list for the 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff.

49ers activate Mostert, Sherman, Wilson from IR
The San Francisco 49ers have activated running backs Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson Jr. and cornerback Richard Sherman off injured reserveNOVEMBER 29, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Questionable for Sunday's game Coach Kyle Shanahan said Friday that Sherman (calf) will be activated from IR and is considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Impact The move hasn't been made official yet, but it appears Sherman will be available for the first time since Week 1. The 49ers' secondary has been quite good this year even with Sherman out of the picture, as it has given up 208.9 passing yards per game (fourth-lowest in the league). Nevertheless, Sherman's presence would be a clear boost for the unit if he's indeed able to play.

Richard Sherman, Deebo Samuel and Others Likely to Return vs. Rams Kyle Shanahan provided updates on several 49ers, including six players' availability on the Reserve/COVID-19 list.
NOVEMBER 25, 2020 • 49ERS.COM
Considered day-to-day Coach Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday that Sherman (calf) is considered day-to-day, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.
Impact Sherman will need to be activated by Nov. 30; otherwise, he'll spend the rest of the season on injured reserve. It's encouraging that he received the day-to-day label, which provides him a good chance to play this Sunday against the Rams if the practice week goes well. The 49ers' pass defense has actually been quite good without Sherman, allowing just 208.9 passing yards per game (fourth-lowest in the league), but getting the five-time Pro Bowler back would be a clear upgrade to the secondary.
