Pelissero reports that Sherman suffered a Grade 2 hamstring strain, which not only puts the Week 15 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons into question, but perhaps more.



#49ers CB Richard Sherman underwent an MRI this morning on his injured hamstring, which is pretty sore a day after that wild win over the #Saints, source said. Status in doubt for Sunday against the #Falcons, but he'll do everything he can to be ready. — Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) December 9, 2019 Richard Sherman's MRI showed a Grade 2 hamstring strain, per source. So definitely tough for this week and perhaps beyond, though we've seen Sherman play through plenty of things before. https://t.co/MGWSll55o2 — Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) December 9, 2019

Sherman was coming off a knee sprain suffered the week before against the Baltimore Ravens and was limited last week during practices in Florida, where the team stayed between Weeks 13 and 14. Unlike the previous game, Sherman was unable to return to the field against the Saints.



"I definitely couldn't go back in this one, unfortunately," Sherman told reporters after the game. "If I could give us any kind of chance to go back in, I would have. But unfortunately, in that situation, I would have just been a liability out there with it the way it was.



"We've got a long week ahead of us to try to get it together. Like I always say, don't count me out until I'm out."
