What happened: General manager John Lynch stated the San Francisco 49ers have no plans to work out other kickers despite Eddy Pineiro's rocky start to the 2026 campaign. Lynch emphasized the organization's confidence in the veteran specialist's established track record with the club.

Why it matters: Pineiro earned his multi-year commitment after converting 28 of 29 field goals across 14 games for San Francisco in 2025, per ESPN. Standing pat at specialist preserves roster flexibility ahead of the Nov. 10 NFL trade deadline.

By the numbers: The 49ers sit at 6-1 as the No. 2 seed on a one-game losing streak following a 29-20 defeat on Oct. 25, with Pineiro in his ninth NFL season out of Florida.

What to watch: Pineiro said he will study film during the bye week to correct his early-season issues before San Francisco returns to action.
