Pinnock played two snaps on special teams and none on defense in Sunday's 30-19 loss to the Buccaneers.

EDGE Analysis

Through the first five weeks of the season, Pinnock had played every defensive snap for the 49ers, accruing 17 tackles along the way. The 49ers opted to shake up their defensive backfield for Week 6, however, with Pinnock falling out of the mix entirely while Ji'Ayir Brown moved into a full-time role alongside rookie Marques Sigle, who split snaps with Malik Mustapha at the other safety spot. Pinnock thus appears to be the 49ers' No. 4 safety at the moment, making him unlikely to receive meaningful playing time unless one or two of Brown, Sigle and Mustapha is out with an injury.

Pinnock (heel) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pinnock did not play in the Niners' last two preseason games due to a lingering heel injury, but he appears to be past the issue and on track to play against the Seahawks on Sunday. With Malik Mustapha (knee) beginning the season on the reserve/PUP list, Pinnock is slated to serve in a starting role at safety alongside Ji'Ayir Brown.

Pinnock (heel) was limited to individual drills during Tuesday's training camp practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pinnock sat out the 49ers' second preseason game Saturday due to a lingering heel injury, and it's still bothering him ahead of Saturday's preseason contest versus the Chargers. As long as he remains sidelined during team drills, rookie fifth-rounder Marques Sigle figures to see increased activity.

Pinnock (heel) will not play against Las Vegas on Saturday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pinnock was limited in practice this past week while working through a heel injury, and he'll be in street clothes Saturday to avoid aggravating the issue. Siran Neal and Derrick Canteen should see a heavy dose of snaps at safety due to the absences of Pinnock and Malik Mustapha (knee).

Head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters Thursday that Pinnock is working through a heel injury, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pinnock played 11 defensive snaps during the 49ers' preseason opener against the Broncos this past Saturday and finished with one solo tackle. He's been limited to individual drills over the past week, and the 49ers may play things safe by holding the fifth-year safety out of Saturday's exhibition contest against the Raiders. Siran Neal, Derrick Canteen and Jaylen Mahoney are poised to see a significant number of defensive snaps at safety due to injuries to Pinnock and several other players in San Francisco's secondary.

Pinnock is slated to sign a one-year contract with the 49ers, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pinnock started in all 16 regular-season games he played in 2024 and finished with 85 tackles (50 solo), including a career-high 3.0 sacks, and one pass defense. The 2021 fifth-round pick will use offseason programs and training camp to compete against Malik Mustapha (knee) and Ji'Ayir Brown for a starting spot at safety.

Pinnock tallied 85 tackles (50 solo), including 3.0 sacks, along with one defensed pass over 16 games during the 2024 regular season.

EDGE Analysis

For the second straight season, Pinnock started in all 16 games in which he played and logged exactly 85 tackles. The fourth-year safety recorded 3.0 sacks over the season's first three weeks to establish a career-high mark in that category, but he didn't record another sack the rest of the campaign. Pinnock also had no interceptions this season after picking off two passes -- and returning one for a pick-six -- last year. He'll be a free agent upon the conclusion of the season and could be an attractive option for teams looking for help at the safety position after two straight years of consistent, though mostly quiet, production.

Pinnock notched 10 tackles (seven solo) Sunday in a 45-33 Week 17 win over the Colts.

EDGE Analysis

Pinnock ranked second on New York in tackles behind Ty Summers (11). The fourth-year safety's 10 stops were a season-high mark. Pinnock has been productive with 18 tackles over the past two weeks.

Pinnock posted eight tackles (five solo), including one for loss, in a 34-7 defeat against the Falcons in Week 16.

EDGE Analysis

Pinnock finished second on the Giants in stops behind Darius Muasau (11). Pinnock's eight tackles were the second-most he's recorded in a game this season -- he had nine Week 2 against Washington. Though the fourth-year safety hasn't reached double-digit tackles in any contest on the campaign, he's established a reliable floor with at least five stops in each of his past eight games.

Pinnock (abdomen) was left off the Giants' injury report Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pinnock missed the Giants' Week 10 loss to the Panthers due to an abdomen injury, but his omission from Wednesday's injury report suggests that the team's Week 11 bye provided enough time to recover from the issue. Now that Pinnock is back at full health, he's expected to start alongside Tyler Nubin (back) as part of the Giants' top safety duo.
