The San Francisco 49ers secured a 22-19 preseason victory over the Las Vegas Raiders, highlighted by kicker Jake Moody's game-winning 59-yard field goal. Moody, who finished 3-for-4 on field goals during the game, overcame a missed 53-yard attempt earlier to deliver the decisive kick under pressure. Despite the win, the 49ers suffered multiple injuries, with starting right guard Dominick Puni and running backs Patrick Taylor Jr. and undrafted rookie Corey Kiner exiting early due to injuries. Head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed that all three players will be sidelined for multiple weeks. Moody described the winning kick as a challenging moment, noting he fell on his back after being tripped by a defender but appreciated the team's support following the successful attempt.
Corey Kiner reverts to IR after not being claimed on waivers. He is not eligible to return and play for SF this season under his current contract. We will now see if the 49ers reach an injury settlement with him (which would terminate that deal)
SpTmsC Boyer on Moody: It could change his career. What I really liked was his response from the 52-yard miss, he showed a lot of character where he bounced back and hit two clutch, one to tie and one to win it. He showed the moxie he had and the confidence he’s starting to gain.
