Summary

Eddy Piñeiro leads the NFL in made field goals without a miss through Week 7, but the 49ers kicker's journey to San Francisco has been anything but perfect. Jennifer Lee Chan sits down with Piñeiro, who shares why he chose to play for the 49ers after Jake Moody's release and how close he came to signing elsewhere. Piñeiro discusses how he brings a jolt to the 49ers' locker room, his fast-growing bond with George Kittle and why football was second to his first love in sport, soccer. Also, Matt Maiocco and Jennifer review the midweek list of 49ers injuries and who might start in Week 8 vs. the Houston Texans.
