49ers Sign Matthew Wright After Moody's Injury

The San Francisco 49ers are navigating a challenging season, recently suffering a 24-23 loss to the Arizona Cardinals after leading by double digits, marking their second such defeat this season. Kicker Jake Moody's high ankle sprain, sustained while attempting a tackle during a kickoff, further complicates the team's issues, as he will be unavailable for the upcoming game against the Seattle Seahawks. To address Moody's absence, the 49ers have signed veteran kicker Matthew Wright as a temporary replacement. The team faces a short turnaround, needing to refine their play quickly ahead of their Thursday night matchup with the division-leading Seahawks. Coach Kyle Shanahan emphasized the importance of reducing turnovers, which have been pivotal in their recent losses.
