Perfect in loss
Moody converted both his one field-goal attempt and one extra-point attempt in Saturday's 29-18 loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: Moody converted his 19-yard field goal attempt on the Commanders' first drive, and he was only called upon once more in the game, converting an extra-point attempt in the second quarter after a one-yard touchdown run by Jacory Croskey-Merritt. The kicker now moves to 6-of-6 on field-goal attempts and 5-of-6 on extra-point attempts through four games as a Commander.

Makes five of six kicks vs. NYG
Moody converted on all three of his field-goal attempts and went 2-for-3 on extra-point tries during the Commanders' 29-21 win over the Giants on Sunday.
Analysis: Moody drilled all three of his field-goal attempts in the first half, with his longest coming from 46 yards in the first quarter. His extra-point try late in the second quarter hit the right upright, which was his first PAT miss of the year. Moody is 5-for-5 on field-goal attempts and 4-for-5 on point-after tries across three regular-season games with the Commanders.

No kicks in Week 14
Moody did not attempt a field goal or an extra-point try in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Moody was blanked along with his team in Week 14, failing to attempt a kick for the first time over five contests with the 49ers, Bears and Commanders this year. The kicker will look to break a sweat in Week 15 against the Giants.

Impresses in Commanders debut
Moody went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made both of his extra-point tries in Sunday night's 27-26 overtime loss to the Broncos.
Analysis: Moody was perfect in his Commanders debut, making 32- and 38-yard field goals in the fourth quarter to send the game to overtime. The 2023 third-round pick from Michigan has now appeared in four games with the 49ers, Bears and Commanders this season, making 11 of 14 field-goal attempts and all seven of his point-after tries. He's expected to remain Washington's top placekicker in the Week 14 matchup against the Vikings.

Joining Commanders
The Commanders will sign Moody off the Bears' practice squad Monday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Moody, who was a third-round pick of the 49ers in 2023, kicked for San Francisco in Week 1 and Chicago in Weeks 6 and 7, combining to make nine of his 12 field-goal tries and all five of his extra-point attempts in that span. The 25-year-old now is slated to take over Washington's kicking duties after the Commanders waived Matt Gay on Monday.

Moody reverted to the Bears' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Analysis: Moody filled in for Cairo Santos (thigh) for the second straight week, going 4-for-4 on field-goal tries while making both of his PATs in Sunday's 26-14 win over New Orleans. The kicker can be elevated from the practice squad one more time before he'd have to be officially signed to the active roster.

Busy day in Week 7 win
Moody made all four of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries during the Bears' 26-14 win over the Saints on Sunday.
Analysis: Moody was elevated from the practice squad to the Bears' active roster for a second consecutive week in place of Cairo Santos (thigh). Moody was responsible for the Bears' first six points of the game with field goals from 27 and 39 yards in the first half, and he helped expand Chicago's lead in the second half after connecting on two more field goals. Moody is now 8-for-9 on field-goal attempts and 3-for-3 on extra-point tries across two games with the Bears. He is eligible to be elevated from…read more

The Bears elevated Moody from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints.
Analysis: Moody thus will handle placekicking duties in place of Cairo Santos (thigh) for a second consecutive contest. In his first chance to kick in the NFL since the 49ers jettisoned him after Week 1, Moody connected on four of five field-goal attempts and his sole point-after try during Monday's 25-24 win at Washington.

Moody went 4-for-5 on his field-goal attempts Monday, which included a 38-yard kick as time expired to lift the Bears to a 25-24 victory.

Comes through with game-winning FG
Moody went 4-for-5 on field-goal attempts and made his only extra-point try Monday in a 25-24 win over Washington.
Analysis: Moody made his Bears debut as a result of Cairo Santos being inactive due to a thigh injury. Moody instilled confidence with his first field-goal try, a successful 47-yarder early in the first quarter. The former 49er then hit a 48-yarder and a 41-yarder before having another 48-yard try blocked at the start of the fourth period. However, Moody was able to conclude a successful team debut by nailing a 38-yard field goal as time expired to give Chicago a one-point win. Whether or not he kicks…read more

The Bears have elevated Moody from the practice squad to the active roster for Monday's matchup against the Commanders.
Analysis: Moody has been elevated to the game-day roster for Week 6 due Cairo Santos (hamstring) being listed as questionable. The transaction could be a sign that Santos is trending in the wrong direction to play Monday, in which case Moody will start as Chicago's placekicker, or simply a move made by the Bears for extra depth.

Finds work in Chicago
The Bears signed Moody to their practice squad Friday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Moody was cut by the 49ers earlier in the week and cleared waivers after missing a pair of field-goal attempts in San Francisco's Week 1 win over the Seahawks. Chicago represents a fresh start for the 2023 third-round pick. He's an upside addition should Moody rediscover the kicking ability that made him such a high draft pick out of Michigan.

Out as San Francisco's kicker
The 49ers will waive Moody on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Moody has been on thin ice since the end of his rookie campaign in 2023, when he followed up a promising regular season by missing two field goals and one extra-point attempt over three playoff games. He then endured a nightmarish sophomore campaign in which he missed 11 kicks in total (10 field goals, one extra point), and his struggles continued in the 49ers' 17-13 win over the Seahawks in Week 1. Before converting on a 32-yard try in the fourth quarter, Moody hit the left upright on a…read more

Struggles in Week 1
Moody went 1-for-3 on field-goal tries and 2-for-2 on PATs in Sunday's 17-13 win over the Seahawks.
Analysis: Moody hit the left upright on a 27-yard field-goal attempt in the second quarter, and he also had a 36-yard try get blocked in the third quarter. The kicker was able to salvage his day with a 32-yard make early in the fourth, tying the game at 10-10. The 25-year-old went a career-worst 24-for-34 on field-goal attempts in 2024, and he'll look to rebound in Week 2 against the Saints after a disappointing start to the 2025 campaign.

Makes five fields goals Saturday
Moody went 5-for-6 on field-goal attempts and 1-for-1 in extra-point tries during a 22-19 preseason win against the Raiders on Saturday.
Analysis: San Francisco implied a vote of confidence in Moody by releasing his main competition for the team's kicking job in veteran Greg Joseph in early August, and Moody made that decision look wise with his performance Saturday. The Michigan product's first two conversions were relatively easy -- they came from 30 and 26 yards, respectively -- but he showed a big leg in the fourth quarter, when he was successful from 50, 44 and 59 yards. Moody did miss one attempt from 53 yards out, but that…read more

Little work in exhibition opener
Moody did not attempt a field goal but converted his lone extra-point attempt in Saturday's 30-9 preseason loss to Denver.
Analysis: Moody kicked off Saturday's preseason campaign for San Francisco after winning the position battle following Greg Joseph's release earlier this week. The 25-year-old Moody struggled to the tune of a 71 FG percentage on 34 attempts in 2024, but he did suffer a midseason injury that may have affected his play. Now fully healthy and with his job currently not in jeopardy, Moody will attempt to get his 2025 campaign off on the right foot.

Appears to win job
Moody is the only kicker on San Francisco's roster after the team released Greg Joseph on Monday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: The 49ers also signed four new players, none of whom is a kicker. Moody hasn't lived up to his draft capital -- 99th overall in 2023 -- but it does appear he'll get a third year as San Francisco's placekicker. The team should provide enough kicking volume to give Moody some fantasy utility if he can just improve his accuracy enough to keep the job all season.

Facing competition for job
Moody is competing with Greg Joseph for San Francisco's placekicker job, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.
Analysis: The 49ers drafted Moody at No. 99 overall in 2023, making him the second kicker in 15 years to go within the top 100 picks. He mostly performed well as a rookie, but he then missed three kicks during the playoffs and made only 70.6 percent of his field-goal attempts in 2024.

Will face competition
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Tuesday that the 49ers intend to bring in a veteran kicker "who's capable of taking that job" to compete with Moody this offseason, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Shanahan communicated a belief that competition could bring out the best in Moody going forward, saying, "If he can overcome that, and beat out a capable guy, that'll show us he's ready for the season." A 2023 third-round pick, Moody's struggles in 2024 can be attributed in part to a high-ankle sprain that forced him to miss three contests and could have continued to impact his performance upon return to the field. He converted just 71 percent of his field-goal attempts across 14 regular-season…read more

Career in SF in jeopardy
Moody went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts while converting all three of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 47-24 loss to the Cardinals.
Analysis: Moody managed to hit his first field goal from 51 yards out, but he shanked the ensuing 47-yard attempt. The 2023 third-round pick has struggled mightily ever since missing a key PAT in the 49ers' Super Bowl loss to the Chiefs last season. NBC Sports Bay Area's Matt Maiocco believes it would be a "controversial decision" to keep Moody in house after his bout of inconsistency this season, and its hard to argue against that statement.

Awful showing Monday
Moody missed both of his field-goal attempts while going 4-for-5 on point-after tries in Monday's 40-34 loss to the Lions.
Analysis: Moody's struggles in 2024 continued with another multi-miss outing in Week 17. In the 2023 third-round pick's defense, both of his misses on Monday Night Football came from 50-plus yards out. Still, Moody saw his season conversion rate on FGs drop to 72 percent in addition to missing his first PAT in a six-point loss for San Francisco. The 24-year-old may be in jeopardy of losing his starting job if he is unable to show some composure in Sunday's season-finale against Arizona.

Misses three kicks Monday
Moody went 4-for-5 on extra-point attempts but missed both of his field-goal tries during the 49ers' 40-34 loss to the Lions on Monday.
Analysis: Moody had a solid start to Monday night's game when he converted on his first three extra-point tries, but he missed right on a 51-yard field goal near the end of the first half. His 48-yard field-goal attempt early in the fourth quarter sailed left, and after missing his final extra-point try with less than a minute left to play, he capped things off with an onside-kick attempt that was blasted straight out of bounds.

Misses from 41 yards out
Moody went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and 2-for-2 on point-after tries in Sunday's 29-17 loss to Miami.
Analysis: Moody's 41-yard miss in the third quarter was instrumental to the 49ers' demise, as it would have kept the deficit within one score. Instead, Miami was able to keep the lead just out of reach before De'Von Achane put the game away with a 50-yard scamper late in the fourth quarter. Moody is proving to be just an average kicking option despite his third-round pedigree, and the same could be said for his fantasy value against Detroit next Monday.

Moody went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts with no point-after tries in Thursday's 12-6 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: Moody was the only 49ers' player to record any points in Thursday's low-scoring affair. The sophomore kicker set a new career best in FGs made (22) at a 79 percent clip through 11 games.

The sophomore leg has now gone 20-for-26 on field-goal attempts while hitting 100 percent of his PATs in 10 active games this season.

Analysis: Moody missed multiple attempts for the second time in four weeks, shanking kicks from 45 and 55 yards out. The kicker's last blunder-filled outing came in calm conditions, but a harsh snow storm in Buffalo was likely the culprit this time around.

San Francisco's kicker hasn't missed a kick since his horrific Week 10, but his low usage has dampened his fantasy value.

Things went a lot smoother this time around, albeit in a losing effort on far less kicking attempts.

Innaccurate in return
Moody (ankle) went 3-for-6 on field-goal attempts while converting both of his point-after tries in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Moody returned from an ankle injury that cost him three weeks of game action, but the results were mixed upon returning Sunday. The 2023 third-round pick wound up missing three field-goal attempts (44, 49 and 50 yards) before nailing his sixth and final attempt for the win.

San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said Tuesday that he expects Moody to miss "about a month" due to a right high-ankle sprain, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: While Shanahan admitted that Moody's recovery timeline is still somewhat hazy, the kicker could be a candidate for injured reserve if the 49ers determine that he'll need at least four games to recover. At the very least, the 49ers will be without Moody for a few weeks, with his injury prompting the team to bring in five kickers for a tryout Monday. The 49ers ultimately signed Matthew Wright, and he'll take over as the team's kicker beginning with Thursday's game against the Seahawks.

Diagnosed with high-ankle sprain
Moody suffered a high-ankle sprain during Sunday's 24-23 loss to the Cardinals, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports. He converted both of his extra-point tries and both of his field-goal attempts before leaving the contest.
Analysis: Moody's right ankle was bent under him while he made a tackle during a kickoff in the second quarter of Sunday's game. He was carted to the locker room, where further tests revealed a high-ankle sprain for the 24-year-old kicker. With the 49ers facing the Seahawks on Thursday, San Francisco may have to hold placekicker tryouts early in the week before settling on a replacement for Moody, who could miss multiple games with the injury.

With Moody's status confirmed for the rest of Week 5, the 49ers will entrust kicking duties to punter Mitch Wishnowsky. The team also will be operating on a short week in advance of Thursday's visit to Seattle, so tryouts for a temporary placekicker may be in the offing early this week.

Analysis: Moody got back on track with his strong start to the fantasy campaign after converting all of his kicks for 12 points on the heels of last week's mediocre effort. The 2023 third-round pick has nailed 11 of his 12 attempts from the field this season, chipping in 10 PATs for fantasy managers through four games.

Moody went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and 3-for-3 on point-after tries in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: Moody nailed a chip shot from 26 yards out in the fourth quarter, but he wound up missing his final attempt from 55 yards out in the three-point loss. Similar to his missed PAT in the Super Bowl last season, the outcome of this game might have been altered had the 2023 third-round selection converted this tougher kick Sunday. It was the sophomore's first miss through three weeks, keeping Moody in the upper tier of kicking options heading into Sunday's tilt against the Patriots.

Analysis: Moody's fantasy ship came back to Earth following his six made FGs against the Jets in Week 1. The sophomore kicker saw his scoring opportunities decrease against the Vikings, but he remained perfect when called upon for a late field-goal attempt. The Michigan product has made all seven of his kicks from the field this season, including two FGs from 50-plus yards out.

The 2023 third-round pick made 84 percent of his field-goal attempts as a rookie and is off to a tremendous start following his Week 1 output.

Nails 45-yard FG in loss
Moody went 1-for-1 on field-goal attempts and 2-for-2 on point-after tries in Monday's 33-19 loss to Baltimore.
Analysis: Moody had another low-use game in Week 16, but this time it was due to his team getting blown out by an opponent as opposed to the other way around. The rookie kicker has been afforded just two field-goal attempts over San Francisco's last four games. Moody has done his part when called upon, nailing both FG attempts from 40-plus yards out and converting all 18 PATs over that same span. The Michigan product may wind up seeing more action in Week 17 with a matchup against Washington's…read more

Scores nine points Sunday
Moody converted his only field-goal attempt from 43 yards and went 6-for-6 on point-after tries in Sunday's 45-29 win over Arizona.
Analysis: Moody was finally thrown a bone late in the fourth quarter when the 49ers' offense -- which had scored six touchdowns at that point -- stalled a drive in Arizona territory. It was the rookie kicker's first field-goal attempt since Week 12 at Seattle. Moody could see more action against the Ravens next Monday, who present a tougher defensive matchup that could result in more FG attempts.

No FG attempts again
Moody did not attempt a field goal and converted all four of his point-after tries in Sunday's 28-16 win over the Seahawks.
Analysis: Moody's leg has been sitting on ice for two weeks running as San Francisco's offense continues to finish drives at an impressive clip. Through no fault of his own, the first-year kicker has attempted (and made) just one field goal in San Francisco's last three wins. The resulting low point totals hurts Moody's fantasy value heading into next Sunday's tilt against Arizona. That said, the rookie has made 85 percent of his field-goal attempts and has yet to miss a PAT, making him a safe kicking…read more

Limited to PAT work Sunday
Moody did not attempt a field goal while going 6-for-6 on point-after tries in Sunday's 42-19 win over the Eagles.
Analysis: Moody got to put his accurate feet up for most of this game and watch his teammates rally for six consecutive touchdown drives en route to a lopsided victory. San Francisco's success at finishing drives led to no field-goal attempts for the rookie, the third time that has happened this season. Moody was able to extend his streak of games without a missed kick to five ahead of next Sunday's tilt against Seattle.

Converts all attempts Thursday
Moody made his only field-goal attempt from 32 yards out and went 4-for-4 on point-after tries in Thursday's 31-13 win over Seattle.
Analysis: Moody barely broke a sweat on his five kicks Thursday, as his only field-goal attempt wound up being a shorter kick than his four successful PATs. The end result was another clean outing for the rookie, who has converted 85 percent of his field goals (17-for-20) and all 37 of his extra-point attempts through 11 games this season. Moody will be one of the new faces introduced to a developing rivalry between NFC powerhouses when the 49ers visit the Eagles on Dec. 3.

Accounts for nine points
Moody went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and 3-for-3 on point-after tries in Sunday's 27-14 win over the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Moody kept things rolling with his second perfect kicking performance with multiple field goals made in as many weeks. The rookie's season has mirrored that of his new club, as the Michigan product got off to a blazing start before hitting the skids mid-season. Just like the 49ers, Moody used the bye week as a reset and has since railed off two strong fantasy kicking lines. He will be shooting for a third when San Francisco heads north to face Seattle on Thursday Night Football in Week 12.

Scores 10 points in blowout win
Moody went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and 4-for-4 on point-after tries in Sunday's 34-3 win over the Jaguars.
Analysis: San Francisco received a much-needed boost from Deebo Samuel's (shoulder) return from injury over the Week 9 bye. The flurry of scoring resulted in the rookie leg's first game with double-digit points since Week 3. With the 49ers returning to form on offense Sunday, Moody can also return to being a viable fantasy option against the Buccaneers in Week 11.

Clean outing Sunday
Moody converted his only field-goal attempt from 36 yards out and went 2-for-2 on extra-point attempts in Sunday's 31-17 loss to Cincinnati.
Analysis: Moody spent most of this contest on the sidelines after San Francisco's offense was held to 17 points for the third consecutive week. On the bright side, the rookie kicker converted all three of his attempts Sunday after missing kicks in each of his previous two outings. Moody enters the 49ers' upcoming bye week with an 80 percent success rate on field goals while converting all 26 of his point-after tries through the first eight games of his pro career. San Francisco will resume play in Week…read more

Third miss in two weeks
Moody went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and 2-for-2 on extra-point attempts in Monday's 22-17 loss to Minnesota.
Analysis: Moody shanked his first field-goal attempt in the first quarter of Monday's tight loss after missing a potential game-winning kick against the Browns in Week 6. The rookie's hot start to the year has quickly evaporated with three failed attempts in two weeks, with only one kick coming from long range (54 yards vs. the Browns). Moody's recent struggles should push him down the Week 8 kicker rankings for Sunday's game against Cincinnati.

First miss leads to first team loss
Moody went 1-for-3 on field-goal attempts and 2-for-2 on extra-point attempts in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Browns.
Analysis: Moody's perfect stretch to begin his pro career finally came to an end following after missing two crucial kicks in Week 6's loss to Cleveland. The rookie placekicker missed the first and last of his three attempts Sunday. The first miss came early in the contest from 54 yards out, but it was his final miss on a 41-yard attempt that stands out after his team lost by just two points. Moody will have to shake off his first rough outing in the pros and attempt to bounce back when the 49ers face…read more

Limited to PATs on Sunday
Moody went 6-for-6 on point-after tries without attempting a field goal in Sunday's 42-10 win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: Moody finished without a field-goal attempt for the second consecutive week after converting nine attempts over the 49ers' first three games. The rookie kicker stayed perfect by converting PATs on each of San Francisco's six touchdown drives Sunday. Moody should be considered a startable fantasy option against Cleveland this Sunday after successfully converting all 29 of his kicking opportunities through five weeks.

Hits five PATs
Moody did not attempt a field goal and converted all five of his point-after tries in Sunday's 35-16 win over the Cardinals.
Analysis: The 49ers' offense did not falter in the red zone Sunday, leaving little work for Moody in a comfortable win. The third-round rookie was fresh off of three straight 12-point performances, so this feels like a down fantasy game through no fault of his own. Moody will attempt to maintain his perfect kicking percentage when the 49ers face the Cowboys on Sunday Night Football in Week 5.

Stays perfect in win
Moody went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and 3-for-3 on point-after tries in Thursday's 30-12 win over the Giants.
Analysis: Moody has been perfect to begin his pro career by converting all 18 kicking opportunities presented to him through three games. Thursday's FG attempts were of the chip-shot variety, coming from 21, 28 and 36 yards, but the rookie was able to show off his driver on a 57-yard conversion in Week 2. Moody has quickly become one of the top kicking options in fantasy behind San Francisco's high-octane offense. The Michigan product will look to continue his early success in a plus matchup against the…read more

Hits from 57 yards
Moody was a perfect 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and 3-for-3 on extra-point attempts in Sunday's 30-23 win over the Rams.
Analysis: The 49ers have kept Moody busy with 12 combined kicking opportunities through the first two games of the season. The third-round rookie responded by converting every attempt without drama, including a 57-yard drive that split the uprights Sunday. Moody will look to keep the strong start to his career rolling against the Giants on Thursday.

Perfect in pro debut
Moody went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and 3-for-3 on point-after tries in a 30-7 win over the Steelers on Sunday.
Analysis: Moody had a tumultuous preseason that started with two missed field-goal attempts and ended with a quadriceps strain that put his roster spot in jeopardy. The Michigan product not only overcame his health matter, but he also put any concerns regarding his psyche to rest with a perfect kicking day to open the regular season. San Francisco's star-studded offense looked as good as advertised after one game, making Moody a desirable fantasy option heading into next week's tilt against the Rams.

Cleared to play
Moody (quadricep) was removed from the 49ers' injury report and will play Sunday against the Steelers, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Moody pulled his quad during the preseason but has been cleared to kick for Week 1. Likely kicking at less than 100 percent and on the road in a game with a projected low scoring total, Moody isn't an exciting fantasy option Sunday.

Remains limited Thursday
Moody (quadriceps) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: After sitting out the 49ers' preseason finale due to a strained right quadriceps, Moody was deemed week-to-week by the team, but by Monday he was able to kick on a side field, per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com. Moody now has logged back-to-back capped practices and seems on course to be available Sunday in Pittsburgh. Friday's injury report ultimately will unveil whether or not he heads into the weekend with a designation. If Moody isn't able to suit up, San Francisco has Matthew Wright at the ready…read more

Officially limited Wednesday
Moody (quadricep) was limited at Wednesday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Moody didn't suit up for the 49ers' exhibition finale due to a right quad strain, an injury that prompted San Francisco to label him week-to-week. Fellow kicker Zane Gonzalez (calf) also didn't play in that game, and after a stint on injured reserve, the team released him Tuesday with an injury settlement. As a result, Moody's only competition for kicker duties in the Bay Area is practice-squad member Matthew Wright. While Wright actually has NFL experience under his belt, head coach Kyle…read more

On track for opener
Moody (quadriceps) was on a side field Monday, kicking alongside recent practice-squad signing Matthew Wright, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Moody attempted short and mid-range kicks during the open portion of practice and reportedly had no trouble putting the ball high up on the net. He seems to be on track for Sunday's game in Pittsburgh, but the 49ers brought in Wright just in case Moody suffers a setback. As much as his team context hints at possible fantasy value this year, Moody will start the season with a tough matchup even if his quad proves to be a non-issue, playing at one of the harshest stadiums for kickers and against…read more

Could be ready for Week 1
San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday that he expects Moody (quadriceps) will be healthy soon, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Moody is at least healthier than fellow 49ers kicker Zane Gonzalez, who was placed on injured reserve Tuesday with a calf injury. Gonzalez will now miss the entire season or else reach an injury settlement with San Francisco, whereas Moody still has hope to suit up Week 1 and handle the placekicking duties. Shanahan acknowledged that the 49ers plan to add a kicker to the practice squad, giving them a backup plan in case Moody's quad injury lingers heading into the Sept. 10 season opener at…read more

Considered week-to-week
San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan said Saturday that Moody is considered week-to-week with a right quad strain, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Moody sat out Friday's 23-12 preseason loss to the Chargers after he popped up with this injury. While he was initially considered day-to-day, the outlook for the 23-year-old appears to have taken a hit following the completion of San Francisco's preseason schedule. The 49ers selected Moody with the 99th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, and he struggled during his preseason debut against Las Vegas, going 0-for-2 on field-goal attempts while hitting his lone PAT. Nevertheless, the rookie…read more

Strains quad
Moody strained his right quadriceps and won't play in Friday's preseason game against the Chargers, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The rookie is day-to-day, but an injury to his kicking leg could be a problem even if it isn't too serious. Moody had a rough summer after being selected in the third round in April, missing two field-goal attempts and a PAT in his two preseason games. Zane Gonzalez will handle all the kicks Friday night.

Gets off on wrong foot
Moody missed both of his field-goal attempts (1-for-1 on PATs) in his preseason debut against the Raiders on Sunday.
Analysis: Moody shanked his first attempt left from 40 yards out following one of the few lengthy drives by the offense Sunday. He squared up his next kick, but it was a 58-yard desperation attempt. This is a concerning start for a kicker the 49ers drafted in the third round in order to avoid re-signing one of the most accurate kickers in NFL history, Robbie Gould. That is no fault of Moody, who will look to right the ship against Denver on Saturday.

Solid showing so far
Moody has been having a strong training camp, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Moody has missed only one kick in practice out of his 20 attempts thus far, including multiple tries beyond 50 yards and a 60-yard attempt that easily cleared the crossbar. He's currently competing with Zane Gonzalez in camp, though considering Moody was taken in the third round of the 2023 Draft and his solid performance thus far, he likely has the inside track for the job.
