Pineiro did not have any field-goal tries but converted on all five of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 35-13 win versus the Dolphins.
In a game where Miami's defense was picked apart by quarterback Brock Purdy, Pineiro's services were barely needed. San Francisco is off to a scorching start in 2026, and there's not much reason to think the Cardinals defense will be the one to slow the momentum Week 3.

49ers' Eddy Pineiro: Expected to play Sunday
Rotowire
Pineiro (illness) is expected to be active Sunday against the Dolphins, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
The 49ers ended up trying out two kickers Saturday -- Greg Joseph and Younghoe Koo -- but won't sign either of them to the practice squad, meaning Pineiro will handle his normal placekicking duties in Week 2. In 15 regular-season games with San Francisco going back to the 2025 campaign, Pineiro has netted 30 of 32 field-goal attempts and 37 of 41 point-after tries.

49ers' Eddy Pineiro: Logs another DNP
Rotowire
Pineiro (hamstring) was listed as a DNP on Thursday's practice report, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Pineiro continues to be sidelined by a hamstring injury, which caused him to miss the 49ers' Week 12 win against the Panthers.

49ers' Eddy Pineiro: Begins Week 13 as non-participant
Rotowire
Pineiro (hamstring) will not participate in practice Wednesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Pineiro did not practice in any capacity prior to being ruled out for Week 12, and there's no indication that his return to on-field reps is on the immediate horizon. He's reportedly considered week-to-week due to a Grade 1 hamstring strain suffered Week 11 against Arizona. Matt Gay made all four kicks (two field-goal tries and two PATs) in his team debut during Monday's win over the Panthers, and he could be elevated from the practice squad to draw another start if Pineiro remains sidelined Sunday on the road against Cleveland.

49ers' Eddy Pineiro: Viewed as week-to-week
Rotowire

Pineiro has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 hamstring strain after he was injured in the third quarter of Sunday's win over the Cardinals.

49ers' Eddy Pineiro: Injures right hamstring
Rotowire
Pineiro (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Pineiro appeared to injure his right hamstring while kicking a point-after try in the third quarter of Sunday's game. The 49ers don't have another kicker on the active roster, so Pineiro's absence would cause the 49ers' offense to go for two-point tries on touchdowns for the rest of the contest. He made all three of his field-goal attempts and went 2-for-4 on point-after tries prior to his injury.
