Overview

  • The 49ers officially announced they acquired Skyy Moore and a 2027 seventh-round pick from the Chiefs for a 2027 sixth-rounder.
  • San Francisco’s receiver group is thinned by injuries and a suspension, with Brandon Aiyuk not expected back until at least Week 6, Jauan Jennings sidelined by a calf issue, and Demarcus Robinson suspended three games.
  • Moore, a 2022 second-round pick, has 43 receptions for 494 yards and one touchdown across three seasons and missed most of 2024 with a core muscle injury.
  • He flashed recent special-teams value with an 88-yard preseason punt-return touchdown, and the 49ers have a long regular-season drought without a punt return score.
  • Kansas City moved on from Moore after he landed on the roster bubble this summer, underscoring San Francisco’s low-risk depth play.
