San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman and his return from injury has been put on hold, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.
Sherman has been on injured reserve with a calf injury since last month, missing four consecutive NFL games for the 49ers.
The 49ers had hoped to have Super Bowl champion Sherman back for practice this week, but the five-time Pro Bowler's comeback has been delayed ahead of the Week 6 clash against the Los Angeles Rams.
"The healing hasn't gone the way we were hoping for," Shanahan said on Monday. "I know we're gonna try a few different procedures this week, but I know I'm not counting on this week. "
"So, we'll see how that goes with the new stuff we're going to try."
Shanahan added: "He's gonna get some shots that he thinks can help in his leg.
"No surgeries or anything, just different types of shots to take to see if they can take the inflammation down and stuff like that."
The 49ers – last season's Super Bowl finalists – are 2-3 following last week's 43-17 humbling at the hands of the Miami Dolphins.
Jimmy Garoppolo returned from an ankle injury, but the 49ers quarterback was later replaced by C.J. Beathard.
Garoppolo had thrown two interceptions and completed just seven of 17 passes for 77 yards, while also being sacked three times.
"We'll see how he is on Wednesday," Shanahan said. "I expect him to be at least the same, if not better.
"So hopefully he can get a week of that and have no setbacks Wednesday, Thursday, Friday; and hopefully we can get him out there Sunday night."
