Overview

  • In the Week 1 win at Seattle, Moody missed a 27-yard try and saw a 36-yarder blocked, leaving him 1-for-3 on field goals.
  • Fox’s Pam Oliver reported thrown helmets and “a lot of ticked-off” 49ers after the failed attempts.
  • Shanahan said he has “no question” about Moody’s roster status for now and attributed the block to a breakdown in the kicking operation.
  • Reactions in the locker room varied, with Kyle Juszczyk expressing cautious hope and Fred Warner declining a firm endorsement as an anonymous teammate voiced frustration.
  • Shanahan said he would evaluate the position this week, and reporting indicates the team could consider bringing in a kicker for a workout before facing the Saints.
