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.
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.

Panthers' Eddy Pineiro: Sitting out in Week 18
Rotowire
Pineiro (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Buccaneers, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
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.

Panthers' Eddy Pineiro: Doubtful for season finale
Rotowire
Pineiro (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
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.

Panthers' Eddy Pineiro: Not practicing yet
Rotowire
Pineiro (hamstring) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
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.

Panthers' Eddy Pineiro: Unable to practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Pineiro (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.
Pineiro didn't see the field in this past Sunday's loss to the Jaguars after experiencing hamstring tightness in warmups, 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 is unable to play this weekend.

Panthers' Eddy Pineiro: Doesn't play after pregame injury
Rotowire
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.
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.

Panthers' Eddy Pineiro: Sidesteps injury report
Rotowire
Pineiro (groin) wasn't included Wednesday on Carolina's initial Week 1 injury report.
Despite having dealt with a groin issue since early August, Pineiro is apparently ready to go for Sunday's season opener at Atlanta. In a dome against an Atlanta defense that doesn't look overly imposing, Pineiro could make for a decent streaming option at kicker even though he's not backed by a high-powered offense.
