The move comes two days after 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said there was "no question" he would be San Francisco's kicker Sunday at New Orleans after Moody missed a field goal and had another blocked in Sunday's win against the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field.
"We are looking into all that stuff now, there are options," Shanahan said. "Whether to stay at status quo, we could bring guys in for a workout, practice squad, but we are going through all that stuff right now.
During Sunday's game, Moody missed his first attempt, a 27-yard chip shot, and a breakdown in line protection led to his second attempt getting blocked. He converted a 32-yarder with 9:42 to go in the game and was two-for-two on extra-point attempts.
Place kicker Jake Moody #4 of the San Francisco 49ers kicks a field goal during the second half of an NFL football game against the Arizona Cardinals, at State Farm Stadium on January 5, 2025 in Glendale, Arizona. Brooke Sutton/Getty ImagesMoody had a solid 2023 season with the 49ers, which included the longest field goal by a rookie kicker in franchise history (57 yards), winning kicks in both playoff games, and three field goals in Super Bowl LVIII, including a 55-yarder. He made 21 out of 25 field goal attempts and 60 out of 61 extra point attempts and was named to the PFWA NFL All-Rookie Team.
Frustrations boiled over during a November game against Tampa Bay, when Moody missed three consecutive field goals, the third leading to an on-field confrontation between former 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel, Moody, and former long-snapper Taybor Pepper, who was defending Moody. Moody eventually made the game-winning kick that day.
A replacement for Moody has not been announced. ESPN reporter Adam Schefter said the veteran kicker Eddy Pineiro was visiting team headquarters on Tuesday.
