Provides only offense for SF Pineiro converted his only field-goal attempt of 48 yards in Saturday's 13-3 loss to Seattle.

Impact Pineiro was the only player for the 49ers to make an impact on the box score after scoring his team's only points in a forgettable offensive showing Saturday. The 29-year-old took over for released K Jake Moody in Week 2 of the regular season and never looked back, nailing all but one of his 29 FGA with the only miss coming from 50-plus yards out. Pineiro will become an unrestricted free agent this upcoming offseason, but it would be surprising if the 49ers didn't re-sign him after saving the franchise's catastrophic kicking situation.

Logs another DNP Pineiro (hamstring) was listed as a DNP on Thursday's practice report, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Pineiro continues to be sidelined by a hamstring injury, which caused him to miss the 49ers' Week 12 win against the Panthers. Friday's practice report will provide clarity on his status for Sunday's game against the Browns, but if Pineiro is not cleared to play, then Matt Gay would likely be elevated from the practice squad to the active roster for a second consecutive week.

Begins Week 13 as non-participant Pineiro (hamstring) will not participate in practice Wednesday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact 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 will stand to be elevated from the practice squad to draw another start if Pineiro remains sidelined Sunday on the road against Cleveland.
