Summary

The 49ers brought an end to the Jake Moody saga Tuesday by waiving the beleaguered kicker, opting to bring in veteran Eddy Piñeiro as his replacement. Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan break down how San Francisco and Moody arrived to this point and how the 49ers will fare at this position moving forward. The duo also discusses Brock Purdy's pair of injuries and George Kittle's placement on injured reserve, as well as Kendrick Bourne's return. Then, Matt sits down with Jake Tonges' former high school coach to discuss the backup tight end's emergence from Los Gatos, Calif., to the pros.
