Sun Oct 06 22:12:17 UTC 2024: ## 49ers Lose Kicker Jake Moody to Ankle Injury in Week 5 Loss
**SANTA CLARA, CA** – The San Francisco 49ers suffered another injury blow in their Week 5 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, losing kicker Jake Moody to an apparent ankle injury in the second quarter. Moody exited the game after attempting to make a tackle on a Cardinals kickoff return.
After limping to the sideline, Moody was carted to the locker room and was later ruled questionable to return. He was ultimately ruled out for the remainder of the game.
In his absence, the 49ers turned to punter Mitch Wishnowsky to handle kicking duties. Wishnowsky successfully drilled a 26-yard field goal before halftime, extending the 49ers lead to 23-10.
The 49ers have already been dealing with the loss of safety Talanoa Hufanga to a hand injury earlier in the game. The injury woes continue to plague the team, with Moody’s status for next week’s game still uncertain.
