Overview
- Eddy Piñeiro missed multiple practices this week because of an illness and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game, so the 49ers plan to add a kicker to the practice squad as insurance.
- Coach Kyle Shanahan said the team is choosing between two candidates for the practice‑squad spot and will decide on Saturday which player to sign.
- Rookie running back Kaelon Black is also listed as questionable after being limited in practice for a groin tightness, and Shanahan described his outlook as a 'questionable amount of optimism.'
- Wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling was ruled out with an ankle injury that required surgery and will miss significant time, forcing the 49ers to adjust depth on the perimeter.
- The move is a short‑term roster precaution to ensure a kicker is available on game day and comes as both teams cope with late injuries, including Miami’s earlier ruling out of edge rusher Chop Robinson.
