Anders Carlson Among Kickers Trying Out for 49ers Amidst Eddy Piñeiro's Injury
The San Francisco 49ers are holding tryouts for multiple kickers, including Anders Carlson, Parker Romo, and Tanner Brown, as they address the injury to their primary kicker, Eddy Piñeiro, who has a Grade 1 hamstring strain and is considered "week-to-week." Carlson, who previously spent two games with the 49ers last season, has a career record of 40-of-48 field goals in 24 games and previously played for the Jets and Packers. Romo has kicked in seven games for the Falcons this season, making 11-of-14 field goals, and also played for the Vikings last season. Brown has yet to appear in an NFL game. The 49ers will evaluate these kickers before deciding on a replacement for Piñeiro.
