Eddy Pineiro Faces Job Scrutiny After Extrapoint Miss

San Francisco 49ers kicker Eddy Pineiro missed his fourth extra point of the season during a 29-20 loss to Atlanta, though coach Kyle Shanahan stated no tryouts are planned over the bye. Pineiro signed a four-year extension after a historic 2025 season, but has struggled this year by making only six of nine field goals alongside his extra-point misses. Cutting him would incur a $6 million dead money cap hit for San Francisco.
