As the 49ers rapidly approach final roster cuts in search of a 53-man roster to feel comfortable with heading into the regular season, an interesting underlying storyline is emerging surrounding their kickers.
Three days remain until NFL teams have to cut their rosters down to the final 53, and in a span of the last three days, San Francisco’s two primary options at kicker have gone down with injuries.
Rookie kicker Jake Moody (right quadriceps) and veteran Zane Gonzales (right calf) are both in doubt for the start of the regular season, and now the 49ers must navigate final roster cuts without having the foresight of knowing the health status of their kickers two weeks from now when the regular season begins.
