49ers Face Kicker Dilemma After Consecutive Injuries

San Francisco's newly signed kicker Matthew Wright is injured making a tackle, echoing last week's loss of Jake Moody.

  • Matthew Wright, signed by the 49ers just days ago, injured his shoulder during a tackle in a game against the Seahawks.
  • The injury occurred on Thursday night, shortly after Wright successfully kicked three field goals and three extra points.
  • Wright replaced Jake Moody, the 49ers' primary kicker, who suffered an ankle injury in a similar tackle the previous week.
  • Coach Kyle Shanahan expressed concern over the back-to-back injuries and is reconsidering the team's approach to kick-off coverage.
  • Wright's injury comes after a tumultuous week for him, having evacuated Florida ahead of Hurricane Milton before joining the 49ers.
