Pineiro (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, but coach Dave Canales said Friday that he thinks Pineiro will be able to play, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports. Pineiro was injured while celebrating his 36-yard, game-winning field goal in overtime two weeks ago against the Giants in Germany. On the season, Pineiro has made 12 of 13 field-goal attempts and all 17 of his extra-point tries.

Pineiro was a limited participant in Thursday's practice due to a left knee injury. Pineiro didn't appear on Carolina's initial Week 12 injury report issued Wednesday, so he may have tweaked his knee at some point during Thursday's practice. The Panthers will check back on Pineiro's condition Friday before deciding whether he'll carry a designation into Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Though a poor Carolina offense hasn't presented him with many scoring opportunities this season, Pineiro has generally come through when called upon, as he's knocked down 12 of 13 field-goal attempts and all 17 of his extra-point tries through 10 games.

Pineiro converted on both of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Giants. The 29-year-old stepped up in Carolina's Week 10 win, drilling a season-long 53-yard field goal early in the second quarter before hitting a game-winning 36-yarder in overtime. Pineiro has now made 12 of his 13 field-goal attempts and all 17 of his point-after tries through the Panthers' first 10 games this season. Expect the veteran to continue converting when given the opportunity, as the Panthers next play the Chiefs in Week 12.

Pineiro converted his one field-goal attempt while making both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 23-22 win over the Saints. Pineiro hasn't missed a kick since the Panthers' Week 5 loss to the Bears, and he has made 10 of his 11 field-goal attempts and all 15 of his extra-point tries on the season. The 29-year-old may not see many scoring opportunities, but he's expected to continue converting when called upon. The Panthers host the Giants in Week 10.

Pineiro made each of his point-after attempts in Sunday's 28-14 loss to the Broncos. It was an uneventful game for Pineiro for the second consecutive week, as he hasn't attempted a field goal since Carolina's Week 6 loss to the Falcons. The 29-year-old is expected to continue being a reliable option in Carolina, however, he likely will continue to see few scoring opportunities when the Panthers host the Saints in Week 9.
