Season high 12 points Gould was a perfect 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts while going 3-for-3 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 30-10 win over Jacksonville.
Impact The 49ers' offense stayed hot for the second week in a row, resulting in a new season high of 12 points for Gould. The veteran leg has been perfect in the three games since returning from IR, going 5-for-5 on field-goal attempts and 9-for-9 on PATs. Gould could stay busy against the Vikings in a Week 12 matchup between two teams with hot offenses and poor defenses.

Hits from 50 Gould made his only field-goal attempt and went 4-for-4 on extra-point attempts in Monday's 31-10 win over the Rams.
Impact Gould remained perfect since being activated off of IR last week, even flashing his leg power by splitting the uprights from 50 yards out with room to spare. The 49ers have been involved in two major upsets in as many weeks, so it is a fool's errand to predict the game scripts in 2021. That said, Gould is an accurate kicker with a decent floor even in low-usage games, making him a solid option against the Jaguars in Week 11.

Looks healthy in return Gould (groin) converted his lone field-goal attempt while going 2-for-2 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 31-17 loss to the Cardinals.
Impact Gould was activated off of injured reserve after missing three games with a groin injury. The veteran is one of the more-reliable legs in the league -- which seems to be a rarity these days -- so there was no question he would regain his starting job as soon as he was activated. Fantasy kickers can only do what the team's offense puts them in position to do, but even when the 49ers' offense struggles, Gould will rarely hurt you with ugly missed kicks. Up next are the Rams on Monday Night Football in Week 10.

Returns from injured reserve Gould (groin) was activated from IR on Saturday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Impact Gould's return was expected after the 49ers waived Joey Slye earlier this week. On Friday, coach Kyle Shanahan suggested he would be available for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Gould will take the field for the first time since Week 3 against the Green Bay.

Impact The 49ers' decision to waive Joey Slye earlier this week foreshadowed the likely return of Gould, who resumed practicing Wednesday after missing the team's last four games with a groin injury. Gould may not be officially reinstated from IR until Saturday, but with no other kicker on the 53-man roster or practice squad, there's little doubt he'll have the role all to himself Sunday. Before straining his groin Week 4, Gould connected on three of four field-goal attempts and went 11-for-11 on extra-point tries through his first three outings.

Practice window opens The 49ers designated Gould (groin) for return from injured reserve Wednesday, Keiana Martin of the team's official site reports.
Impact Sidelined since he suffered a groin strain during pregame warmups Week 4 versus the Seahawks, Gould is nearing a return to action now that his 21-day window in which to be activated from IR has opened. He seemingly has a good chance to rejoin the roster prior to Sunday's game against the Cardinals after the 49ers waived Joey Slye on Tuesday. Following Slye's dismissal, Gould is the only kicker on the roster, including reserve lists and the practice squad.

To practice this week The 49ers are expected to open the practice window for Gould (groin) this week, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Gould strained his groin during a pregame warmup Week 4 against the Seahawks and didn't log a snap in that contest. He subsequently was placed on injured reserve but now is poised to return to action after missing the minimum three games. Gould signaled that he was approaching the end of his recovery by traveling with the 49ers to Chicago this past Sunday and working out with his teammates, per Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area. Assuming Gould is designated to return and is activated from IR this week, he take over kicking duties from Joey Slye, who has made seven of eight field-goal attempts and two of four point-after tries in his stead.

Garoppolo, 49ers get offense clicking to silence critics
Jimmy Garoppolo and the San Francisco 49ers quieted all the talk about struggling offense and quarterback changes for at least another weekNOVEMBER 1, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Potential return this week Gould (groin) joined the 49ers on their road trip to Chicago on Sunday, and was seen working out on the field prior to the contest, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact Gould is eligible to come off of injured reserve this week against the Cardinals, and the fact that he traveled with the club and joined in on team warmups is positive sign that he will miss just the minimum three weeks. Joey Slye has done a solid job in the veteran's absence, but Gould's accuracy and reputation seemingly would give him the starting job back as soon as he is healthy enough to perform.

Hitting injured reserve The 49ers placed Gould (groin) on injured reserve, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Gould strained his groin prior to kickoff of Sunday's eventual loss to the Seahawks, not playing a down in the process. Coach Kyle Shanahan has called Gould's health concern a multi-week injury, and now that he's on IR he'll have to miss San Francisco's next three games. The team worked out a trio of kickers Tuesday, opting to sign Joey Slye over Michael Badgley and Brett Maher.
