Published Fri, 15 Nov 2024 10:52:14 GMT

SANTA CLARA — A right quadriceps injury will keep Jake Moody out of the 49ers’ preseason finale tonight at Levi’s Stadium, six days after he kicked a walk-off field goal in his home debut for a 21-20 home win over the Denver Broncos.Moody, a third-round draft pick, sustained the injury to his kicking leg in practice earlier this week, the latest hiccup in a rocky start to his career.Moody’s injury turns over the kicking duties, at least for tonight’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers, to Zane Gonzalez, whom the 49ers acquired five months ago via trade from the Carolina Panthers.It’s unknown how serious Moody’s injury is or how long he’ll need to recover; he is listed as day-to-day, according to a team spokesman. Ironically, Gonzalez missed all of last season with the Panthers after injuring a quadriceps muscle warming up for the Panthers’ preseason finale.San Francisco 49ers’ Jake Moody during NFL football training camp...
