The San Francisco 49ers have a massive contest against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.  San Francisco (3-3) currently sits in first place in the NFC West, however, it is a tight race at the moment with multiple teams in that division.

Ahead of their huge matchup on Sunday, San Francisco decided to make a change on their team.

Breaking: 49ers Make Massive Personnel Change For Week 7 Matchup Vs Chiefs (Report)

An injury to San Francisco’s starting kicker Jake Moody in Week 5 resulted in a high ankle sprain. Sadly, the team lost their signed replacement Matthew Wright to the same play, though he is suffering from a shoulder injury.

K Anders Carlson has now been promoted from the practice squad. Wright’s injury was worse than expected, according to 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan on October 18:

“Matt Wright will end up going on IR. He’s worse than we expected. So, he can’t get back. Jake Moody is still week-to-week, high-ankle sprain. Not expecting him next week either, but hopefully after the Bye,” Shanahan said.

Shanahan was then asked if Carlson was allowed to tackle. While the San Francisco coach said he can tackle if the last resort, he doesn’t want Carlson making plays.

“Definitely is allowed to, but only in case of emergency,” Shanahan explained. “So, I hope he isn’t attacking anything, but if your choice is just to give up a touchdown or not, we’ll always choose to not give up the touchdown, but hopefully he can stay out of harm’s way.”

Here is a look at Carlson’s career stats:
