SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) -The San Francisco 49ers have signed kicker Shane Andrus to start the team’s season finale Sunday at St. Louis.
The Niners (7-8) were forced to make a move because kicker Ricky Schmitt has a left groin injury and regular starter Joe Nedney has been sidelined with a hamstring injury. Schmitt was signed before last week’s win over the Detroit Lions.
Coach Mike Singletary said Friday that San Francisco needed to find a kicker from outside the organization.
Andrus was released by Tampa Bay in early November. He appeared in one game for Indianapolis this season and three with the Buccaneers. He missed his lone field-goal attempt.
