SANTA CLARA Adam Joseph Duhe Jersey , Calif. (AP) — San Francisco newcomer Richard Sherman will miss the next week of training camp and the 49ers‘ preseason opener after straining a hamstring in practice Friday.
“We’re definitely going to rest him at least a week,” 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said Saturday. “We don’t think it should be long term. It’s Grade 1, it’s a little higher than we expected so we got to be careful with that.”
The former Seattle cornerback was hurt chasing down receiver Pierre Garcon after a long completion from Jimmy Garoppolo during a full-team drill. The three-time All-Pro returned to practice at the start of training camp after suffering a torn right Achilles in November with the Seahawks. Sherman signed a three-year $39.15 million deal in the offseason after being cut by Seattle.
In Sherman’s place Sunday Alvin Kamara Jersey , the 49ers rotated Tyvis Powell and Greg Mabin with the starting defense. Jimmie Ward stepped in for Sherman during the offseason program but has been withheld from full-team drills after suffering a hamstring strain last week. Ward has participated during individual portions of the last two practices.
San Francisco opens its preseason slate Thursday night at home against the Dallas Cowboys.
Jimmie Ward ended three of his first four 49ers seasons on injured reserve and he hasn’t had any more luck with his health this offseason.
Ward, who moved back to cornerback from safety, hurt his ankle during OTAs and dealt with a hamstring injury during training camp before leaving Saturday’s game in the first quarter. Ward hurt his quad on punt coverage Carl Banks Jersey , which led to a question for head coach Kyle Shanahan about whether he’s frustrated by Ward’s issues staying healthy.
“No, I wouldn’t say ‘frustration’ because then it would be negative toward Jimmy. It’s just unfortunate,” Shanahan said Mike Evans Jersey , via the San Jose Mercury News. “Jimmie works real hard and I love Jimmie as a player, and he’s very tough. He has gotten hurt a lot but I don’t question any of those.”
Ward is guaranteed $8.5 million this season after the 49ers exercised their fifth-year option on his rookie contract. He’s not expected to start on defense and how much return they get on that investment will be determined in part by how often he’s able to get on the field.
