49ers cut Jake Moody, place George Kittle on injured reserve
September 9, 2025
The San Francisco 49ers have waived kicker Jake Moody after he missed two field goals in the season opener. They also placed star tight end George Kittle on injured reserve with a hamstring injury. Kittle will miss at least four games. Moody, a 2023 third-round pick, struggled with consistency, leading to his release on Tuesday. Despite a promising start, his performance declined, especially after an ankle injury last season. The 49ers also signed receiver Kendrick Bourne to a one-year deal worth up to $5 million. They currently have open spots on both the 53-man roster and the practice squad.
