For the second time in five days, the San Francisco 49ers saw their kicker get hurt trying to make a tackle on kickoff coverage.
Freshly signed kicker Matthew Wright’s last play in Thursday’s 36-24 win for the Niners may end up being costly, as he hurt his shoulder making a tackle on Seahawks returner Dee Williams near midfield with just over a minute left in the game.
Wright was in immediate and noticeable discomfort when he got up from making the tackle, with the Amazon Prime broadcast showing a team doctor tending to him a few plays after the hit.
