The E in "were" has a caret I vowel sound, which is a short U + R sound (wur).

This is not the same as a short E and slightly different from the short U.

The word "were" rhymes with her, sir, and fur.

No, the word "were" does not have a short vowel sound. The vowel sound in "were" is pronounced as a schwa sound, which is a neutral sound and not considered a short or long vowel sound.
