When the San Francisco 49ers used a third-round pick to draft Jake Moody last year, the hope was it would settle their kicking position for years to come.

It doesn’t sound as if the 49ers are going to cut ties with struggling kicker Jake Moody in the offseason. The way Kyle Shanahan spoke about him Thursday, they might not even give him training camp competition.

Williams initially was not placed on the IR, with hope that he'd return this season. However, the injury has not improved in condition, and Williams' season has officially been ended. Kyle Shanahan was asked about the potential of the injury being a long-term or perhaps career-ending issue for Williams.
