The San Francisco 49ers have been through a few kickers this season.

That includes a new one for Week 12 Monday Night Football against the Carolina Panthers.

Matt Gay is the 49ers' new kicker. 

He's kicking in place of Eddy Pineiro.

Why isn't Eddy Pineiro kicking for the 49ers?

The 49ers are without Eddy Pineiro against the Panthers due to injury.

He didn't practice all week due to a right hamstring issue.

His next chance to play will be Sunday, Nov. 30 against the Browns.

Who is the 49ers' kicker tonight?

The 49ers' kicker on Monday Night Football is Matt Gay.

Gay kicked in 10 games for the Washington Commanders this season before he was cut. He was 13-for-19 on field goals but was released after a bad week.

Ironically, former 49ers kicker Jake Moody is the new Washington kicker.
