SANTA CLARA — Jake Moody apparently needed less than two weeks of training camp to dispose of his competition and remain the 49ers’ kicker.
Greg Joseph, who seemingly was in a tight race with Moody, was released Monday in a bevy of moves before practice.
Quarterback Tanner Mordecai, tight end Mason Pline, wide receiver Isaiah Neyor and cornerback Tre Avery were waived.
The kicking competition was the most notorious position battle entering camp, considering Moody’s sophomore slump last year and the 49ers’ widespread offensive and special teams changes this offseason.
Through nine practices, Moody made 21 of 24 field-goal attempts and Joseph was 22 of 24. Moody was the only one to miss in Saturday’s four-attempt shift.
Mordecai was poised to serve as the No. 3 quarterback behind Brock Purdy and Mac Jones, but the 49ers last Thursday signed Carter Bradley, an undrafted rookie last year with the Raiders and the son of 49ers assistant head coach Gus Bradley.
NEW ADDITIONS
Defensive linemen Bradlee Anae and Bruce Hector, safett Jaylen Mahoney, cornerback Fabian Moreau and offensive tackle Isaiah Prince were signed to one-year deals.
ROLL CALL
Cornerback Deommodore Lenoir (hip) returned to practice after missing the past three sessions.
Defensive end Nick Bosa is out for a second straight practice. Presumably also resting are running back Christian McCaffrey and left tackle Trent Williams.
Neither running back Isaac Guerendo (shoulder) nor fullback Kyle Juszczyk (lower leg) returned from Saturday’s injuries.
Also out are defensive linemen Kevin Givens and Sam Okuayinonu.
