Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Moody (ankle) won't play in next Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports. The 49ers have a Week 9 bye, so Moody will get another two weeks to heal from his right ankle sprain. Anders Carlson will again kick for San Francisco after he made both of his field-goal attempts (from 55 and 24 yards) against Kansas City. Carlson, however, missed his one extra-point try.

Moody (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Moody sustained a right high-ankle sprain Week 5 against the Cardinals, and coach Kyle Shanahan said afterward that the kicker would require roughly a month to recover from the injury. Consequently, it's no surprise that Moody is missing a second game in a row, and the 49ers will be using a third kicker in as many contests this weekend after Matthew Wright emerged from Week 6 with shoulder and back issues that will require an IR stint. Anders Carlson, who is on San Francisco's practice squad, is lined up to handle placekicking duties Sunday and potentially beyond that point.

San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said Tuesday that he expects Moody to miss "about a month" due to a right high-ankle sprain, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports. While Shanahan admitted that Moody's recovery timeline is still somewhat hazy, the kicker could be a candidate for injured reserve if the 49ers determine that he'll need at least four games to recover. At the very least, the 49ers will be without Moody for a few weeks, with his injury prompting the team to bring in five kickers for a tryout Monday. The 49ers ultimately signed Matthew Wright, and he'll take over as the team's kicker beginning with Thursday's game against the Seahawks.

Moody suffered a high-ankle sprain during Sunday's 24-23 loss to the Cardinals, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports. He converted both of his extra-point tries and both of his field-goal attempts before leaving the contest. Moody's right ankle was bent under him while he made a tackle during a kickoff in the second quarter of Sunday's game. He was carted to the locker room, where further tests revealed a high-ankle sprain for the 24-year-old kicker. With the 49ers facing the Seahawks on Thursday, San Francisco may have to hold placekicker tryouts early in the week before settling on a replacement for Moody, who could miss multiple games with the injury.

Moody (ankle) won't return to Sunday's game versus the Cardinals, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. On a kickoff in the second quarter, Moody was the tackler on the play in question, got his right ankle bent under him and eventually was carted from the sideline to the locker room. With Moody's status confirmed for the rest of Week 5, the 49ers will entrust kicking duties to punter Mitch Wishnowsky. The team also will be operating on a short week in advance of Thursday's visit to Seattle, so tryouts for a temporary placekicker may be in the offing early this week.
