Skyy Moore catches a 4-yard touchdown pass in the Super Bowl against the Philadelphia Eagles while a memory of the Kansas City Chiefs.SANTA CLARA — The 49ers moved to fortify an injury-laden position Wednesday with the acquisition of Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Skyy Moore.
Moore played only six games for the Chiefs last year before going on injured reserve with a core muscle injury. He had hamstring issues during training camp leading to the core injury. The deal was first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter and confirmed independently by this news organization. It includes an exchange of sixth- and seventh-round picks, an indication Moore was likely headed for release when the rosters are cut to 53 on Tuesday. The deal becomes official once Moore passes a 49ers physical. In 2022 and 2023, Moore caught 43 passes for 494 yards and one touchdown in 30 games. He also scored a touchdown against the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII, a 4-yard pass from Patrick Mahomes that put the Chiefs up 35-27. In the Chiefs’ last preseason game against Seattle, Moore returned a punt 88 yards for a touchdown and returned 14 punts for 86 yards as a rookie in 2022. Moore, 5-foot-10, 195 pounds, was a second-round draft pick out of Western Michigan in 2022. In three seasons at Western Michigan, Moore caught 171 passes for 2,482 yards and 15 touchdowns. He came out for the draft after catching 95 passes for 1,292 yards and five touchdowns. The 49ers are currently without Jauan Jennings and probably won’t have Brandon Aiyuk until the sixth game of the season as he recovers from a torn ACL/MCL. In addition, Demarcus Robinson is expected to be suspended under the NFL’s substance abuse policy after pleading no contest, paying a fine and participating in an alcohol rehabilitation program following an arrest last November.Also injured is second-year receiver Jacob Cowing, who missed most of camp with a hamstring strain and has aggravated that injury.49ers’ offense is growing on RB Guerendo while LB Bethune also making second-year strides Youthful supporting cast has changed vibe, but driving forces of 49ers’ camp have been George Kittle, Fred WarnerThe five biggest questions facing the 49ers in the final week of preseason That leaves Ricky Pearsall Jr., a first-round pick a year ago as potentially the 49ers No. 1 wide receiving option in Week 1.
