Buccaneers WR Justin Watson, who has been on the PUP list, also started his 21-day window to return to the active roster.
Sherman has been recovering from a calf injury that he suffered in pregame warmups as he was about to return from a hamstring injury.
Sherman, 33, is a former fifth-round pick of the Seahawks back in 2011. He was entering the final of his five-year, $58.789 million contract when the Seahawks released him during the 2018 offseason.
The 49ers signed him to a three-year, $39.15 million contract and he was testing the open market as an unrestricted free agent this year before signing a one-year, $2.25 million deal with the Buccaneers.
In 2021, Sherman has appeared in two games for the Buccaneers and recorded ten tackles and one fumble recovery.
