The San Francisco 49ers have signed veteran kicker Matthew Wright to replace Jake Moody, who is out with a high ankle sprain. Moody sustained the injury during a field goal attempt in the game against the Arizona Cardinals, leading to Wright's signing ahead of their matchup against the Seattle Seahawks.
Moody's injury occurred with under five minutes in the second quarter when he tried to tackle Cardinals returner DeeJay Dallas after a blocked field goal attempt. The tackle attempt resulted in Moody getting knocked backward and injuring his right (kicking) leg, prompting frustration as he recalled a similar injury he had in eighth grade.
