Buccaneers' Richard Sherman: Back in action

Sherman (Achilles) will take the field Week 16 against Carolina.

Sherman did not take the field last week against New Orleans after logging 19 snaps in the previous contest against Buffalo, but he was a limited participant in practice this week and will ultimately be cleared to take the field. The Tampa Bay secondary is getting closer to full strength, especially at the cornerback position, though safety Antoine Winfield (foot) won't be suiting up Sunday.
