The San Francisco 49ers are adding a kicker to their practice squad as Eddy Piñeiro is questionable due to an illness for their upcoming game against the Miami Dolphins. Piñeiro has missed three consecutive practices, leading the team to consider two candidates for a tryout. One possibility is Jake Moody, who was drafted by the 49ers in 2023 and has since been released by the Baltimore Ravens. Moody, who faced challenges during his previous stints with the 49ers, Bears, and Commanders, could be in line for a return if Piñeiro is unable to play on Sunday.
