Rough outing in loss
Pineiro converted on three of his five field-goal attempts while making both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Pineiro hadn't missed a kick since the Panthers' Week 5 loss to the Bears before missing field goals of 38 and 45 yards in the first half of Sunday's overtime loss. The third-year Panther has now converted on 86.4 percent of his field-goal attempts (19 of 22) this season while remaining perfect on point-after tries (20 of 20). He'll look to bounce back from a poor Week 13 performance next Sunday when the Eagles host the Panthers.

Cleared to kick Sunday
Pineiro (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Analysis: Carolina had listed Pineiro as questionable after he was limited in practice Thursday due to the left knee injury before sitting out Friday's session entirely, but the team's decision not to add another kicker to the roster before Saturday's deadline for Week 12 transactions suggested his availability was never in any real jeopardy. Though he's the most accurate kicker in NFL history with a career 89.4 percent success rate on field-goal attempts, Pineiro remains a low-end fantasy option while…read more

Set to reprise starting job
The Panthers waived undrafted rookie Harrison Mevis on Sunday, leaving Pineiro as the only kicker on the team's roster, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: While Pineiro was not really expected to lose his job to Mevis this offseason, the latter's departure should clear up any questions about this position for Carolina heading into the regular season. The veteran missed the final two games of the 2023 campaign with a hamstring injury, but he performed well over his 15 regular-season appearances, converting 25 of 29 field-goal attempts and 17 of 20 PATs.

Sitting out in Week 18
Pineiro (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Buccaneers, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
Analysis: An active Pineiro didn't fulfill his typical placekicking duties for the Panthers last Sunday at Jacksonville after hurting his hamstring in pregame warmups. The injury kept him out of all drills during Week 18 prep, and an ensuing doubtful designation unsurprisingly led to inactive status this Sunday. Pineiro thus will yield his gig to Matthew Wright in the season finale.

Despite costly misses in Week 8's overtime loss to the Falcons serving as a midseason hiccup, Pineiro was otherwise highly reliable, making 33 of 35 field goals and 30 of 32 extra points this year. In total, his 129 points tied for the sixth most league-wide at his position, putting him in a great spot to cash in as an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

Makes five kicks in Week 12 win
Pineiro converted all three of his field-goal attempts and both of his point-after tries in Sunday's 23-10 win over the Broncos.
Analysis: Pineiro converted kicks from 42, 26 and 36 yards to give the Panthers defense some extra cushion in a game where the Denver offense struggled to move the ball.

Costly misses Sunday
Pineiro missed one of his three field-goal tries as well as one of his three extra-point attempts in Sunday's 37-34 overtime loss to the Falcons.
Analysis: Pineiro first missed a long extra-point try following a dramatic DJ Moore touchdown to tie the game with just seconds remaining. The kicker then had an opportunity to win the game again in overtime, but he went wide left with a 32-yarder. Following those high-profile mistakes, Pineiro's job security is something to monitor ahead of Week 9's game versus the Bengals.

Analysis: Pineiro converted from 42 yards on his lone field goal.

Inks one-year deal with Carolina
Pineiro agreed to a one-year contract with the Panthers on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Pineiro becomes the only kicker on Carolina's roster following the team's placement of Zane Gonzalez (core) on injured reserve. The 26-year-old made all 17 of his field-goal attempts while joining the Jets for their final five games of the 2021 season, but he couldn't beat out Greg Zuerlein for New York's kicking job this offseason. Carolina could continue to bring in competition for Pineiro, but for the time, he'll handle kicking duties in the Sept. 11 season opener versus the Browns.

Analysis: Pineiro was let go by the Jets on Tuesday after losing out on the team's starting kicker competition against Greg Zuerlein this offseason. Carolina may be in a need of a new kicker for the 2022 regular season after projected starter Zane Gonzalez (groin) suffered what is expected to be a long-term injury during the team's preseason game against the Bills on Friday.

Pineiro signed a one-year deal worth up to $2.75 million with the Jets on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Pineiro, who was a restricted free agent, was tendered by the Jets earlier in March and will return to the team in 2022 after converting all 17 of his kicks in 2021. He'll presumably compete with Greg Zuerlein, who the Jets recently signed, for the starting gig during training camp.

Tendered by Jets
Pineiro, a restricted free agent, received a $2.43 million contract tender from the Jets on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Pineiro played well down the stretch for New York in 2021, converting all eight of his field-goal tries and all nine of his extra-point attempts. Granted, that sample size came in just five contests, but Pineiro's accuracy left the team with little need to explore an alternative answer at placekicker. While Matt Ammendola is also sticking with the Jets via a reserve/future contract, Pineiro appears to be the favorite to open the 2022 season as the team's kicker.

Continues to play well with Jets
Pineiro converted a 51-yard field-goal attempt and all three of his PAT attempts in Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Pineiro has made all seven of his field-goal attempts in four games with the Jets heading into next week's season finale against Buffalo. New York chose not to give him another opportunity in scoring range late, instead opting to go for it on 4th-and-2 with a four-point lead in an attempt to put the game away. The decision backfired, as the Buccaneers got the stop and then drove it down the other way for the game-winning touchdown.

Unfazed by blocked PAT
Pineiro made both of his field-goal attempts and two of three PAT attempts in Sunday's 26-21 win over Jacksonville.
Analysis: Pineiro's first kick of the game was a blocked PAT, but he bounced back nicely, making his next PAT attempt for his lone successful kick of the first half. He was much busier in the second half, converting field goals from 42 and 20 yards out in addition to another PAT. The injury-riddled Jets offense moved the ball well against the lowly Jaguars, but that may not be the case in Week 17 against the Buccaneers, so Pineiro could suffer from a lack of opportunities.

Accurate in Gang Green debut
Pineiro made all three of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's 30-9 loss to the Saints.
Analysis: There weren't many positives for New York to take out of its latest blowout loss, but Pineiro's accurate performance in his Jets debut was a silver lining for a team that's tried three different kickers in its last three games. Pineiro connected from 36, 46 and 36 yards out, and Gang Green's kicking job will likely be his for the remainder of the season if he can build on this strong first impression.

Spends season on injured reserve
Pineiro (groin) failed to see the field in 2020 after landing on injured reserve on September 8.
Analysis: At first, Pineiro was expected to have a realistic chance to return to action after a three-week stint on injured reserve had concluded, but with Cairo Santos proving to be a reliable kicking option for the Bears, Pineiro was never activated. With his contract having expired, he'll hit unrestricted free agency, and after making 82 percent of his field goals in 2019, he'll likely have a solid chance of earning a kicking job for 2021.

Week 4 return unlikely
Coach Matt Nagy doesn't think Pineiro (groin) will be ready to play against the Colts in Week 4, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Analysis: Chicago would need to remove Pineiro from IR before he can play, and Cairo Santos will continue to fill in as long as Pineiro remains sidelined. The Bears have a short week before facing the Buccaneers on Thursday in Week 5, so Pineiro will be hard-pressed to heal up in time for that one.

Out at least three weeks
The Bears placed Pineiro (groin) on injured reserve Tuesday.
Analysis: The NFL's new IR rules for 2020 will allow the Bears to activate Pineiro after he sits out three games, so if he moves past the groin injury by the end of September, he could be ready to step back in as the team's kicker beginning in Week 4 against the Colts. In the interim, the Bears are expected to promote Cairo Santos from the practice squad to handle kicking duties.

Unlikely to play Week1
Pineiro (groin) didn't attempt field goals during the media portion of training camp practices Saturday and is unlikely to be available for at least Week 1,
Analysis: With Cairo Santos expected to be released, the Bears could try to bring him back on the practice squad so that he can replace Pineiro to start the season. In addition, if the team desires to move Pineiro to injured reserve and bring him back during the season, it must wait until Monday to make that move. For now, Pineiro is not a recommended fantasy option unless his situation is resolved and he's back on the field as the starting kicker.

Path to No. 1 role
Head coach Matt Nagy hinted that the Bears could roster both Pineiro (groin) and Cairo Santos, Adam Hoge of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
Analysis: Nagy didn't confirm whether this meant both would be on the active roster or if one would be on the practice squad, but it likely means Pineiro is sticking in Chicago regardless of how the competition against Santos plays out. Even with Pineiro's injury, he's regarded as the No. 1 kicker for the time being.

Competition brought in
Pineiro, who has been dealing with a groin issue of late, "hasn't attempted a kick in front of reporters all week," according to Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune.
Analysis: With that in mind, it's not surprising that the Bears plan to sign Cairo Santos to provide insurance and/or competition for Pineiro, who previously had seemed to cement the team's kicking job after Ramiz Ahmed was waived earlier this month.

Kicking competitor waived
With Ramiz Ahmed having been waived, Pineiro is the only kicker on the Bears' roster, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Unless another kicker is brought in by the team, Pineiro will reprise the duties he held last season with the Bears, en route to converting 82 percent of his field-goal tries. His fantasy upside, however, is tied to a Chicago offense that may not yield consistent volume.

Preparing for competition
Pineiro added eight pounds of muscle to strengthen his leg as he prepares to compete against Ramiz Ahmed for the Bears' kicking job during training camp and the preseason, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.
Analysis: Although Pineiro connected on just 82.1 percent of his field-goal attempts last year, he rebounded well from a mid-season slump. Add strength to his leg could help Pineiro on both kickoffs and long-distance field goals, which would come in handy during his job battle with Ahmed. The presence of Ahmed may ultimately not prove to be much of a concern, as he hasn't kicked competitively since 2018, when he made just 15 of 20 field-goal attempts in his final collegiate season at Utah.

Expecting competition
Pineiro anticipates competition for the Bears' starting kicker job during the offseason, Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. "Last year, I had to compete against eight different guys, so I don't think that's going to change," Pineiro said. "Hopefully, it's not eight again, but I definitely expect competition."
Analysis: In the wake of Cody Parkey's ignominious end to the 2018 campaign, the Bears searched far and wide for a replacement, eventually landing on Pineiro after cycling through nearly 10 options. Through Week 11, there wasn't much of a difference, as Pineiro missed five of 17 field-goal attempts. He righted the ship thereafter, though, making all 11 kicks over the last six games. On top of that, he was relatively clean on point-after tries, making 27 of 29 for the season. Chicago's front office won't…read more

Best performance of season
Pineiro converted four field goals and an extra point in the Bears' 21-19 win over the Vikings in Week 17, and he finished the season with 23 field goals in 28 attempts.
Analysis: Pineiro was a disappointment in his first season with the Bears, as he made just 82 percent of his field-goal attempts. In terms of fantasy, he only surpassed seven points on four occasions, and as he enters the last year of a two-year contract, he'll be a marginal fantasy option in 2020 drafts.

Analysis: Pineiro was good from 46 yards out, and he failed to receive a couple other chances to kick when the Bears were forced to throw the ball on fourth downs late in the game. He's failed to top seven points in any of his last eight games, and he'll be a low-upside lineup option in Week 17 against the Vikings.

Analysis: Pineiro was good from 36 yards on his lone field-goal try, and he's now made four-straight field goals. However, his seven-point effort was the most points he's scored in a game since Week 8, and his low floor makes him very difficult to trust in the fantasy playoffs.

Another mediocre performance
Pineiro connected on a field goal and three extra points in the Bears' 24-20 win over the Lions on Thursday.
Analysis: The biggest takeaway for Pineiro was that the Bears chose to pass up a 49-yard field-goal attempt in a domed stadium in order to let the offense try to convert a 4th-and-6, showing a lack of confidence in the kicker. With a total of 19 points over his last five games, Pineiro is not a recommended fantasy option.

Analysis: Although it didn't end up hurting the team, Pineiro missed one of his two extra-point attempts. With his recent struggles, there's room for concern as to whether the Bears will continue to keep him on the roster.

Coach Matt Nagy said after Sunday's 17-7 loss to the Rams that Pineiro won't be replaced as Chicago's kicker after missing both of his field-goal attempts in the contest, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Analysis: Pineiro misfired from 48 and 47 yards in the first quarter before knocking down an extra point in the second half for his lone scoring of the night. Though Nagy gave Pineiro a vote of confidence, it's still not out of the question that the Bears will explore other options after watching the second-year player miss four field goals and an extra-point attempt over the last four games.

Quiet performance
Pineiro converted a pair of extra points in the Bears' 22-14 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.
Analysis: During the first half of the game, Chicago picked up just one first down, and then playing from way behind in the second half, the only work Pineiro saw was extra-point attempts. Although he's recorded 10 points in three different games, he's failed to reach five points in four other contests, making him a very inconsistent fantasy option.
