Pineiro (hamstring) made 25 of 29 field-goal attempts and 17 of 20 extra-point tries en route to 92 points in 15 games during the regular season.
EDGE Analysis
Pineiro missed Carolina's last two games with a hamstring injury. Despite the Panthers' abysmal offense often restricting his scoring opportunities, Pineiro still clinched both of the team's victories with field goals as time expired. Although there is a potential out in Pineiro's contract for a new front office to evaluate this offseason, the veteran is currently slated to return to Carolina for the 2024 campaign.

Pineiro (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Buccaneers, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
EDGE 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.

Pineiro (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
EDGE Analysis
Pineiro failed to practice in any capacity throughout the week and is unlikely to play in Sunday's season finale. Matthew Wright will be elevated from the practice squad to replace Pineiro if Carolina's usual kicker is inactive for the contest, as expected. Pineiro has made 25 of 29 field-goal attempts this season.

Pineiro (hamstring) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pineiro wasn't able to handle his usual placekicking duties this past Sunday at Jacksonville after experiencing some tightness in his right hamstring in pregame warmups. He's yet to practice this week, and if the Panthers end up ruling him out for Sunday's contest against the Buccaneers, the team has an insurance policy in Matthew Wright on the practice squad.

Pineiro (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pineiro didn't see the field in this past Sunday's loss to the Jaguars after experiencing hamstring tightness in warm-ups, and the injury continues to bother him as the Panthers prepare to host the Buccaneers in Sunday's season finale. Carolina signed Matthew Wright to the practice squad as insurance Tuesday, so Wright would handle kicking duties if Pineiro's unable to play.

Pineiro didn't log any snaps on special teams in Sunday's 26-0 loss to the Jaguars after experiencing tightness in his right hamstring during pregame warmups, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pineiro was active for the contest, but after suffering the pregame injury, Carolina deemed him questionable to be available, according to Kaye. Linebacker Kamu Grugier-Hill handled the opening kickoff in Pineiro's stead, and Carolina then bypassed a field-goal attempt on 4th-and-7 at the Jacksonville 21-yard line in pursuit of an unsuccessful first down. Carolina ultimately went three-and-out on its ensuing six possessions and fell into a 19-0 hole, after which attempting field goals became a moot point. Pineiro will presumably be sent in for further evaluation in the coming days, and if there's any concern he won't be available for the Week 18 finale versus the Buccaneers, Carolina will presumably add another kicker to its 53-man roster or practice squad.

Pineiro made his only field-goal attempt and lone extra-point try in Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Buccaneers.
EDGE Analysis
Pineiro converted from 23 yards on his field goal. With the Panthers offense struggling to move the ball, though, he was limited to four points for the third straight week. That stretch leaves him with 73 points on the season, placing outside the top 25 at his position.
