San Francisco veteran kicker Jake Moody suffered a high right ankle sprain while attempting to make a tackle on a kick return Sunday during the 49ers' 24-23 loss to the Arizona Cardinals at Levi's Stadium,

With Moody sidelined, the 49ers had to pivot to a backup kicker. San Francisco has punter Mitch Wishnowsky serve as their emergency kicker when needed, but he usually holds for Moody. Fullback Kyle Juszczyk can also kick, but the first choice, after his duties as fullback, is to have him hold for Wushnowsky.

After losing Talanoa Hufanga to a hand injury earlier in the game, the San Francisco 49ers lost another key contributor in Week 5 against the Arizona Cardinals in Santa Clara. In the second quarter, kicker Jake Moody exited the game with an apparent injury.

No NFL team wants to lose its kicker in the middle of a game. The San Francisco 49ers watched kicker Jake Moody go down with an injury in the first half of Sunday’s game against the Arizona Cardinals.
