RIchard Sherman's night was over before it could really even get off the ground. The Buccaneers ruled the corner out for the remainder of their 'Thursday Night Football' matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles due to a hamstring injury. Sherman suffered the injury in the midst of Tampa Bay's opening drive of the night on defense. He came off the field, walked to the locker room and the team quickly ruled him out for the evening.
Replay showed Sherman pull up tight on a 23-yard reception from Eagles receiver Quez Watkins on a third-and-12 situation for Philadelphia. He came off the field and was seen limping on the sideline before trainers walked with him to the locker room.
After the 28-22 win, coach Bruce Arians had few updates on Sherman, simply saying that he pulled his hamstring. The club does have 10 days until their next game, so there is time to recuperate, but obviously, we'll have to wait and see what the severity is with the corner's hamstring before looking to Week 7.
Sherman was playing in his third game with the Buccaneers since signing a one-year, $2.25 million deal with the club in late September. Tampa Bay's secondary has been gashed with injuries, which forced Sherman to play 98 percent of the defensive snaps in each of his previous two games.
Along with Sherman, the Bucs were without corners Carlton Davis (on IR with quad injury) and Sean Murphy-Bunting (on IR with dislocated elbow) along with safety Antoine Winfield Jr. (concussion).
