Pineiro (groin) kicked during practice Wednesday, but his longest field-goal attempt was from 43 yards out, David Newton of ESPN reports.
Pineiro isn't known for having a big leg, but his range being limited to 43 yards Wednesday suggests he's taking it easy as he works his way back from a groin injury. In encouraging news, Pineiro said he felt good Wednesday, and Panthers head coach Frank Reich affirmed that the team doesn't intend to bring in competition at kicker. It's unclear if Pineiro will be available for Friday's preseason finale against the Lions, but barring a setback, he'll be kicking in the Sept. 10 regular-season opener against the Falcons.
