San Francisco 49ers Tight End George Kittle to Miss at Least 4 Games
Jake Moody missed two field goals inside 40 yards in Week 1, continuing a trend of inconsistency that led to the 49ers waiving him after his 70.6% field goal rate last season.
- On September 9, 2025, following their season-opening victory over the Seattle Seahawks, the San Francisco 49ers moved George Kittle to injured reserve due to a hamstring injury and released kicker Jake Moody from the roster.
- Kittle suffered a hamstring injury in the second quarter of the game, and Moody missed two field-goal attempts, prompting the team to make these changes due to performance and injury concerns.
- Kittle will miss at least four upcoming games while Moody, a 2023 third-round pick, struggled with inconsistencies, including missing 11 of 23 field goals after returning from an ankle injury last season.
- Moody successfully kicked a 32-yard field goal late in the third quarter to even the score at 10 points, but he also missed a 27-yard attempt by hitting the left upright and had a 36-yard kick blocked during the same matchup.
- The 49ers face multiple offensive injuries, including Kittle and Brock Purdy, and they will rely on backup tight ends and likely audition new kickers as they prepare for four games in the next 23 days.
