The San Francisco 49ers are set to activate kicker Anders Carlson from the practice squad as Matthew Wright heads to injured reserve due to a shoulder injury. Wright suffered the injury during a tackle attempt in a recent game.
With Jake Moody also sidelined with a high ankle sprain, the 49ers are relying on Carlson, who previously played for the Green Bay Packers. Coach Kyle Shanahan expressed hope that Carlson can avoid injury and not become the fourth kicker used this season.
