Getting there.....

"Getting there," Sherman said in the post.

Sherman, 30, suffered a season-ending ruptured Achilles against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 10 of the 2017 season while as a member of the Seattle Seahawks.

The Seahawksreleased Sherman in a salary cap-related move on March 9, but he didn't go long before finding a new home. The 49ers moved quickly and signed Sherman to a three-year deal two days later.

Sherman will continue the rehabilitation process and could be back on the field by training camp. The video of him running during the 49ers' organized team activities offers optimism of his progress.

A healthy Sherman, who has 32 interceptions and 99 passes defensed on his career, will bolster the 49ers' defensive secondary, which finished the 2017 season ranked 22nd in the league (235.2 yards allowed per game) and tied for 24th in touchdowns allowed (27).
