Jake Moody injury update: Kyle Shanahan gives latest on 49ers kicker
The 49ers had a tough injury to deal with on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. They lost kicker Jake Moody, who had to leave the game after he got hurt. He suffered the injury after trying to make a tackle on the kickoff in the second quarter. That left them with no kicker for the rest of the game. The 49ers were forced to use Mitch Wishnowsky as their kicker. They lost a close one to the Cardinals, 24-23.
Following the loss, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan let everyone know that Moody has a high ankle sprain. And that it should be an extended time period that he’ll miss.

“Yeah, they’ll work on that stuff right away,” Shanahan said, via David Bonilla of 49erswebzone.com. “With kickers, they’re almost independent contractors, so we’ll get them in as fast as possible and get the best guy we can. I’m sure it’ll have to be for a few weeks. I’m not sure [about the severity of the injury], but I know they told me a high-ankle, and that’s never soon.”
Moody was seen in a walking boot after the game, and he’s set to undergo an MRI soon for further evaluation of the injury. He spoke with reporters after the game. “It rolled underneath me, spun a little farther than it should. Nothing’s broken thankfully,” Moody explained.
