Sources – 49ers inkkicker Matthew Wright and Jake Moody injured

The San Francisco 49ers are signing veteran kicker Matthew Wright because Jake Moody is injured, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Tuesday.

Moody has a severe ankle sprain and will miss Thursday night's game at the Seattle Seahawks.

The 49ers also trained kickers Randy Bullock, Riley Patterson, Anders Carlson and Matt Coghlin.

Moody suffered the injury with just under five minutes left in the second quarter of Sunday's 24-23 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. After 49ers defensive tackle Jordan Elliott blocked a field goal attempt and cornerback Deommodore Lenoir returned it 61 yards for a touchdown, Moody looked to hit the ensuing kickoff for a touchback, as he did on all but four of his own had done 27 previous kickoffs this season.

Moody kicked into the wind and said he got under the ball a little, giving Cardinals returner DeeJay Dallas a return opportunity. Dallas worked his way past the front row of Niners defenders and found Moody on the left side of the field. As Moody attempted to make the tackle, he was thrown backwards with his body bending over his right (kicking) leg.

Moody immediately thrashed his helmet in frustration, realizing that the play was similar to the time he said he broke his leg trying to make a tackle in eighth grade.

Wright has kicked for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Jacksonville Jaguars, Kansas City Chiefs and Carolina Panthers in his career, going 40 of 47 on field goal attempts and 35 of 37 on extra points.
