SANTA CLARA –- Linebacker Nick Moody continued to state his case as a possible regular-season starter alongside NaVorro Bowman with a strong practice on Wednesday night at Levi’s Stadium.
In a practice in which the offensive line did a better job of handling its business against the 49ers’ front seven, it was still a defender who made the top play of the night in front of nearly 15,000 season-ticket holders.
During an 11-on-11 session in the red zone, Moody, who played safety at Florida State, took a perfect angle to cut in front of wide receiver Torrey Smith at the goal line and intercept Colin Kaepernick's pass.
