    Commanders released K Jake Moody.

    NFL insider Jordan Schultz was the first to report the move. The former 49er was signed to a one-year deal earlier this offseason after a brief stint with Washington, in which he went 10-for-11 while going 2-for-2 on distances of 50-plus yards. Moody had been in a kicking competition with rookie UDFA Drew Stevens, who has outperformed Moody in camp. Moody was a third-round pick by the Niners in 2023 and has converted 78 percent of his field goals in his career and is 107-for-110 on his extra point tries.

    Moody is free to shop his services elsewhere as Tyler Loop’s 2-for-2 opening game appears to have marked him as safe for the moment. The Ravens used the practice squad spot on WR Gage Larvadain.
  • BAL Kicker #16
    It’s an interesting move after Tyler Loop, the team’s Week 1 starter, struggled in training camp and during the preseason. The journeyman Moody was most recently cut by the Commanders and would only be activated to the 53-man roster if Loop’s struggles continue into the regular season. Last year with Washington, Moody went 10-for-11 while going 2-for-2 on distances of 50-plus yards.
  • WAS Kicker #16
    Just days after the team opted not to tender Moody as a restricted free agent, they have now re-signed him for next season before the start of free agency kicks off next year. Moody was 18-of-20 on field goal attempts last season for the Bears and Commanders after going 1-for-3 in Week 1 for the 49ers. The former third-round pick only attempted two field goals from 50-plus yards last season, and will likely find himself in a kicking competition later this summer.
  • FA Kicker #16
    The 2023 third-rounder became a vagabond in 2025, playing for the 49ers, Bears, and Commanders. He’ll likely get another crack to win a starting job again in 2026 somewhere. He was 18-of-20 on field goal attempts for the Bears and Commanders after a Week 1 hail of misses had him released in San Francisco.
  • WAS Kicker #16
    Moody missed a chip shot 24-yard field goal in Week 18, but subsequently made a 56-yard field goal later. He spent the 2025 season bouncing between the 49ers, Bears, and Commanders. The 49ers cut him after missing a pair of field goals in Week 1, after which he signed to the Bears’ practice squad. The Commanders signed him off the Bears’ practice squad after he made eight field goals in two games for Chicago. Moody spent the final six games of the season with the Commanders; it remains to be seen if he will return to Washington or sign elsewhere for next season.
  • WAS Kicker #16
    A former third-round pick of the Niners back in 2023, Moody was waived by the 49ers for missing two kicks in Week 1’s win over the 49ers. The third-year kicker missed a whopping 10 kicks last season, but has gone 8-for-9 on his attempts in two games with the Bears, although he notably hasn’t attempted a field goal from 50-plus yards this season. Moody replaces Matt Gay, whose struggles primarily came from distances of 50-plus yards. If the goal is to find a kicker with more range, it seems unlikely that Moody will prove to be the difference-maker the Commanders are looking for. For his career, Moody is 6-for-12 on attempts from 50-plus yards.
  • CHI Kicker #8
    He did get in full practices each of the last two days, which would seem to be an indication that the veteran kicker will be back against Baltimore. If not, Jake Moody will get another practice squad elevation and kick for the Bears in Week 8.
  • CHI Kicker #8
    It’s another Jake Moody week, for those of you in two-kicker leagues or contemplating a stream against the Saints.
  • CHI Kicker #8
    The decision to elevate Moody suggests Santos will be inactive for Monday night’s game against the Commanders, although fantasy managers will want to check inactives 90 minutes before kickoff to confirm. Moody converted 1-of-3 field goal attempts this season and was cut by the 49ers after Week 1. A career 74.2 percent kicker, fantasy managers counting on Santos can pivot to Moody in a pinch if Santos is ultimately ruled out.
  • CHI Kicker #4
    Moody was waived by the 49ers after missing two field goals in San Francisco’s Week 1 win over the Seahawks. He will now provide some much-needed competition for Cairo Santos, who missed one of his two field goal tries in Week 1.

    ESPN’s Adam Schefter named Gardner Minshew and Mac Jones as potential trade candidates for the Giants.

    Jaxson Dart will miss the rest of the regular season, though there’s hope he could return for a postseason run. Schefter noted that Minshew played under Giants OC Matt Nagy in Kansas City, giving him some familiarity with the team’s scheme. He also mentioned that it will not be cheap to pry Jones away from the 49ers. Jimmy Garoppolo is out there as well. He is a free agent and is reportedly still interested in playing, “in the right situation.” For now, the Giants are going to roll with Jameis Winston. Jake Haener will back him up. They will likely add someone as an extra backup option, but Winston is an interesting QB2 for fantasy purposes until they make a bigger addition.

    Sean McVay said Puka Nacua (groin) is “not making great progress.”

    In a surprisingly candid interview with ESPN Los Angeles, McVay certainly did not sound optimistic that Nacua would play in Week 3. Nacua has already missed one practice this week and there’s been no indication that he will get back on the field over the next two days. Davante Adams racked up 195 yards and two scores with Nacua out in Week 2. It will be hard not to rank him as a WR1 once Nacua is ruled out. Terrance Ferguson operated as the team’s No. 2 receiver last week and will be in the TE1 mix without Nacua.

    Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett (hip) was a full practice participant on Wednesday.

    Brissett seemingly dealt with an injury in the Cardinals’ Week 2 loss against the Seahawks, but played through it. He opens the week listed with a hip injury but was a full practice participant. Though Brissett seems to have a hip issue ailing him, it does not seem like it will keep him from playing. The veteran remains in the low-end QB2 conversation for Week 3 against the 49ers.

    49ers WR Demarcus Robinson (ankle) did not participate in Wednesday’s practice.

    Robinson suffered an ankle injury in the 49ers’ Week 2 win over the Dolphins. The initial diagnosis was that the veteran would miss some time and his DNP designation Wednesday indicates just that. With Mike Evans (hip) also not practicing, the 49ers’ receiving corps is getting thinner than it already was.

    Seahawks WR Cooper Kupp (back) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

    Kupp also opened last week with a limited practice due to the back injury before getting in two full practices and playing in Week 2. His limited designation Wednesday is likely a continuation of veteran workload management for his back; fantasy managers should not be surprised to see the 33-year-old limited on Wednesdays this season.

    Commanders RB Kaytron Allen (hip) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

    Allen popped up on the injury report as a limited participant due to a hip injury. The rookie has seen limited touches as the Commanders’ third-string back and is still buried in the depth chart. Also limited was WR Jaylin Lane (groin). Lane is likely to play as he played through the injury in Week 2. Allen’s status is up in the air; practice reports from later in the week will paint a clearer picture.

    Commanders TE Chig Okonkwo (hamstring) did not participate in Wednesday’s practice.

    Okonkwo did not play in Week 2 due to a hamstring injury and now opens this week not practicing. The 27-year-old suffered the injury in Week 1 and has yet to return to practice since then. The Commanders’ tight end depth chart is thin and neither John Bates or Ben Sinnott are worth rostering with Jayden Daniels out.

    Commanders DT Javon Kinlaw (back/shoulder) did not participate in Wednesday’s practice.

    Kinlaw dealt with a back injury last week but played in Week 2. He came out of the loss against the Cowboys with an additional injury to the shoulder. Kinlaw’s status for Week 3 is in question as he sits out of practice with back and shoulder issues.

    Seahawks RB Jadarian Price (chest) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

    Price entered Wednesday expected to practice and officially received a limited designation due to a chest injury he suffered in Week 2. Also limited was George Holani (knee). With both backs starting out limited, their Week 3 statuses are up in the air. If one or both can’t go, Emanuel Wilson is the primary beneficiary for fantasy purposes against the Commanders.

    Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (glute) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

    Darnold was officially listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday, returning to practice for the first time since his opening day injury. He split first-team reps with Drew Lock and did some throwing off to the side. The Seahawks will make a decision Friday on Darnold’s game status for Week 3 but the 29-year-old has an outside chance of returning against the Commanders.
