Witherspoon got the start last weekend against the Minnesota Vikings and the five regular-season games before that. Moseley, however, replaced Witherspoon last weekend after the starter struggled early and allowed Vikings receiver Stefon Diggs to score Minnesota's only touchdown of the day.
The 49ers went on to win the game 27-10 and advance to the NFC Championship Game.
After being benched, Witherspoon sought coordinator Richard Hightower and asked to take Moseley's snaps on special teams.
"That's the next job," Witherspoon told NBC Sports Bay Area. "When I'm not needed at the main job, then the next one is to go contribute on special teams. ... It's all about contributing and trying to help this team win football games."
Moseley has nine starts this season, with most of those coming after Witherspoon suffered a foot sprain during Week 3 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The 49ers and Packers are just hours away from kicking off against one another in the NFC Championship Game.
