Rookie kicker Jake Moody, whom the 49ers selected at No. 99 overall in the 2023 NFL Draft to replace reliable veteran Robbie Gould, is battling a quadriceps strain in his right leg. His status for Week 1 is uncertain.
Also, veteran kicker Zane Gonzalez sustained a severe calf injury during warmups on Friday night before the 49ers' preseason finale at Levi's Stadium. He is a candidate to go on injured reserve.
Vizcaino, 27, has appeared in 10 NFL games over three seasons with the 49ers, Los Angeles Chargers, Arizona Cardinals and New England Patriots.
In 2020, he replaced Gould for a game and made all three field-goal attempts for the 49ers, including a long of 47 yards. He also made both extra points.
