The 49ers today signed place kicker Matthew Wright to a 1-year deal, which should be worth $985,000, if he has 2 accrued years, with a $711,389 salary cap number.<\/p>\n
The Wright signing comes after the 49ers normal place kicker\/kick off specialist Jake Moody suffered a high ankle sprain in Sunday’s loss to the Cardinals late in the 1st-half, and will miss multiple weeks.<\/p>\n
In other injury news, Kyle Shanahan has stated that stronside linebacker Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles won’t play in Thursday night’s game against the Seattle Seahawks, while wide receivers Chris Conley, & Jacob Cowing are considered day-to-day.<\/p>\n
We also learned from Shanahan that defensive end Yetur Gross-Matos, who was placed on injured reserve, will miss 4-8 weeks, while Talanoa Hufanga will miss a month, as he has torn ligaments in his hand, which he suffered in this past Sunday’s game.<\/p>\n
I’d expect the 49ers to either put Hufanga on injured reserve, & re-sign strong safety\/free safety Tracy Walker III, either to the 53-man roster, or the practice squad, but since Walker has already been elevated twice this season, it’s more likely the 49ers add him to the 53-man roster, since a practice squad player can only be elevated 3 times in 1 season.<\/p>\n
There’s also the possibility that the 49ers elevate or promote free safety\/strong safety Jaylen Mahoney to the 53-man roster, as he’s been elevated once this season.<\/p>\n
With the Wright signing, the 49ers now have a full 53-man roster, and lastly, wide receiver Ricky Pearsall won’t be activated ahead of Thursday’s game, and with that said, I thank you for reading, and you can follow me on X\/Twitter @49erscap<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The 49ers today signed place kicker Matthew Wright to a 1-year deal, which should be…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":33116,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,138,110,3,141,114],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-33302","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive","category-injury-news","category-player","category-roster","category-roster-moves","category-team-news"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"views":1111,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/49erscap.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33302","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/49erscap.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/49erscap.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/49erscap.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/49erscap.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33302"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/49erscap.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33302\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/49erscap.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33116"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/49erscap.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33302"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/49erscap.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33302"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/49erscap.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33302"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
