The San Francisco 49ers list kicker Eddy Piñeiro as questionable for their Week 2 game against the Miami Dolphins due to an illness. Both outlets report that Piñeiro’s availability is in doubt, with uncertainty over whether he can play Sunday.
In response, the 49ers plan to add kicking depth. Yahoo Sports and the New York Post both say the team will sign a kicker to the practice squad on Saturday as insurance if Piñeiro remains unable to play. The New York Post adds that Piñeiro has missed multiple practices and that the 49ers could bring in additional options for tryouts.
One possible target mentioned by the New York Post is free agent Jake Moody, implying he could be among the tryout candidates if the team needs a replacement. Yahoo Sports focuses on the broader plan to sign a practice squad kicker and does not name a specific alternative. Across reports, the key point is that San Francisco prepares for the possibility of Piñeiro’s absence while evaluating available kicking options.
