49ERS SEEK MOODY REPLACEMENT AFTER INJURED VS. CARDINALS

An NFL placekicker usually isn't a team's most important player, especially on a team laden with star players like the 49ers. But in San Francisco's crushing 24-23 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday at Levi's Stadium, second-year kicker Jake Moody's injury loomed large after the one-point defeat.

On the kickoff after the 49ers' defense blocked a Cardinals field-goal attempt and ran it in for a touchdown to extend their lead to 19-10 with 4:59 remaining in the second quarter, Arizona return man DeeJay Dallas returned Moody's ensuing kick to the Arizona 38-yard where the 49ers kicker met him and attempted to tackle him before rolling over on his right ankle.
