This marks the second time in three years that Sherman was arrested for driving under the influence. His previous case was dismissed following a guilty plea, resulting in two years’ probation and supervision in addition to court mandated courses. No further updates on the recent arrest were provided.

The 34-year-old will continue to train and is open to returning to the field as a player, but should the opportunity not come, Sherman will head into an analyst role for pregame, halftime, and postgame duties. Taking over Thursday Night Football starting this season, Amazon has already landed Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit as it's play-by-play duo.

Because this is Sherman’s second time on injured reserve this year, his season is over. His final output with the Bucs included 11 tackles, one interception, one pass defensed and one fumble recovery.

Sherman missed the last four weeks with a grade 2 calf strain. He's expected to play limited snaps if active against Buffalo on Sunday. With Jordan Whitehead sidelined and Mike Edwards suspended, the Bucs could look to get Sherman some reps at safety down the stretch.
