San Francisco 49ers kicker Eddy Pineiro has missed his third consecutive practice due to illness, according to reports from NBC Sports Bay Area. At 31 years old, Pineiro has been a reliable kicker for the team, making 29 out of 29 field goal attempts and 34 out of 38 extra points last season. His consistency led to the signing of a $17 million contract extension with the 49ers in the offseason.
However, the team has yet to bring in another kicker as a backup plan, leaving Pineiro's availability for the upcoming Week 2 game against the Dolphins uncertain. Alongside rookie running back Kaelon Black, Pineiro is currently listed as questionable for the match-up.
