On Sunday, the San Francisco 49ers had to play the second half with their starting kicker sidelined. While in kickoff return coverage, Jake Moody attempted to make a tackle against the Arizona Cardinals and suffered an ankle injury that required him to be carted to the locker room and be ruled out for the remainder of the 49ers’ 24-23 loss.

The San Francisco 49ers, who play the host Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night, signed kicker Matthew Wright to a one-year contract on Tuesday. Starting kicker Jake Moody sustained a high ankle sprain in the second quarter of the 49ers' 24-23 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday and will not be available.

In the wake of star kicker Jake Moody's injury, the San Francisco 49ers will be forced to look for backup options on the waiver wire.
