The San Francisco 49ers worked out punter Matt Haack on Thursday, raising some eyebrows considering the team already boasts a healthy Mitch Wishnowsky. Why the workout? It's because Haack is left-footed.
The 49ers are preparing to face the Browns in Cleveland this weekend, whose punter, Corey Bojorquez, also kicks with his left foot.
Tryouts Thursday. KC: Ps Paxton Brooks, Michael Turk; Ty Zentner. PHILA: LB Brandon Smith (signed to PS). SF: P Matt Haack. Haack is left-footed and 49ers face Browns lefty punter Corey Bojorquez on Sunday.
"The team brought in Haack in order to give Ray-Ray McCloud some valuable practice time fielding punts from a lefty," noted Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area.
