According to Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle, the San Francisco 49ers are signing former Green Bay Packers kicker Anders Carlson to the practice squad. This is likely a precautionary move after Matthew Wright suffered a shoulder injury while making a special teams tackle during last week's game against the Seattle Seahawks.
"He did dislocate it—or it came out for a little bit," head coach Kyle Shanahan explained. "... It went back in, but we've got to find out more on it when we get the MRI."
Wright was initially brought in to replace Jake Moody, who sustained an injury during a special teams tackle in Week 5's matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.
The Packers selected Carlson out of Auburn in the sixth round of last year's draft. In his rookie season, he played 17 games, connecting on 27 of 33 field goal attempts and making 34 of 39 extra-point attempts.
