San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan said Saturday that Moody is considered week-to-week with a right quad strain, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moody sat out Friday's 23-12 preseason loss to the Chargers after he popped up with this injury. While he was initially considered day-to-day, the outlook for the 23-year-old appears to have taken a hit following the completion of San Francisco's preseason schedule. The 49ers selected Moody with the 99th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, and he struggled during his preseason debut against Las Vegas, going 0-for-2 on field-goal attempts while hitting his lone PAT. Nevertheless, the rookie should still slot in as the team's starting kicker when healthy.

Moody strained his right quadriceps and won't play in Friday's preseason game against the Chargers, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie is day-to-day, but an injury to his kicking leg could be a problem even if it isn't too serious. Moody had a rough summer after being selected in the third round in April, missing two field-goal attempts and a PAT in his two preseason games. Zane Gonzalez will handle all the kicks Friday night.

Moody missed both of his field-goal attempts (1-for-1 on PATs) in his preseason debut against the Raiders on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Moody shanked his first attempt left from 40 yards out following one of the few lengthy drives by the offense Sunday. He squared up his next kick, but it was a 58-yard desperation attempt. This is a concerning start for a kicker the 49ers drafted in the third round in order to avoid re-signing one of the most accurate kickers in NFL history, Robbie Gould. That is no fault of Moody, who will look to right the ship against Denver on Saturday.

Moody has been having a strong training camp, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moody has missed only one kick in practice out of his 20 attempts thus far, including multiple tries beyond 50 yards and a 60-yard attempt that easily cleared the crossbar. He's currently competing with Zane Gonzalez in camp, though considering Moody was taken in the third round of the 2023 Draft and his solid performance thus far, he likely has the inside track for the job.
