Shanahan recognizes IR as an option for 49ers’ Hufanga, Moody originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
FATHER CLARÉE — Security Talanoa Hufanga And kicker Jake Moody are candidates to be placed on injured reserve, 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said Tuesday.
Hufanga is out for the 49ers’ Week 6 game against the Seattle Seahawks with torn ligaments in his right wrist. He was injured during the first half of the 49ers’ 24-23 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.
Moody suffered a sprained ankle while attempting to make a tackle on a kickoff late in the first half against the Cardinals.
“It’s a sprained ankle, which usually lasts about a month,” Shanahan said. “We’re not sure yet. IR is an option.”
THE The 49ers signed free agent kicker Matthew Wright to take over while Moody is out of action.
Rookie safety Malik Mustapha is in contention to start in place of Hufanga, who missed the first two games of the season as he returned from a torn ACL from last season and also did not play in the 49ers’ Week 4 game against the New England Patriots due to an ankle injury.
Players who go on injured reserve must miss at least four games.
