Overview
- The 49ers told reporters late Saturday that they expect kicker Eddy Piñeiro to be active for Week 2 after an illness kept him out of practice all week.
- San Francisco held workouts with veteran kickers Younghoe Koo and Greg Joseph as short-term insurance but did not sign either player before Sunday.
- Coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed Piñeiro missed three straight practices because of the illness and that the club planned to add a practice-squad kicker if Piñeiro could not play.
- The team placed rookie wide receiver De’Zhaun Stribling on injured reserve after ankle surgery and promoted defensive lineman Ogbo Okoronkwo to the 53-man roster.
- Rookie running back Kaelon Black remains questionable with a groin issue and his availability could shift carries to Christian McCaffrey and affect last-minute fantasy lineup choices.
