Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Richard Sherman hasn’t suited up since Week 6, dealing with a nagging calf injury. Sherman was on track to play against the Washington Football Team on Sunday; however, he ended up being a late scratch.

Sherman has started three games for the Bucs this season, recording 11 tackles and one fumble recovery. The three-time All-Pro appeared in 98% of defensive snaps in his first two games before being forced to leave early in the third.
Pierre Desir was in the starting lineup with Sherman unavailable. The 31-year-old has appeared in five games for the Bucs this season, starting their Week 9 loss to the New Orleans Saints. Desir has 11 tackles, two pass deflections, and one interception so far this season.
Tom Brady put the Bucs in a hole early, throwing two interceptions in the first quarter. The Bucs continue to trail the Washington Football in the second quarter. Check FanDuel Sportsbook for a live line on the game.
