Pineiro (groin) will be evaluated next week to help determine his availability for the regular-season opener against the Rams, Michael Gehlken of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Pineiro has now missed two consecutive preseason games due to a groin injury. In his stead, Mike Nugent has converted three of four field goal attempts for the Raiders, but missed his only attempt from over 40 yards. Pineiro made six of seven attempts from 40-plus yards during his senior season at Florida and as a rookie has higher upside than Nugent, so Oakland will be hoping next week's evaluation determines that Pineiro will be good to go for the regular season.
