The San Francisco 49ers are set to promote kicker Anders Carlson for their upcoming game against the Kansas City Chiefs, making him the third kicker in three weeks for the team. This decision follows an injury to Matthew Wright, who was filling in for Jake Moody, both of whom have faced setbacks this season.

San Francisco's special teams have struggled, experiencing multiple mishaps and injuries. Carlson, previously with the Green Bay Packers, has a mixed history, including a crucial missed kick in the playoffs against the 49ers last season. The upcoming game presents an opportunity for a turnaround amid ongoing challenges.
