Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-Imagn Images Atlanta Falcons punter Bradley Pinion is expected to play on Thursday night despite experiencing neck spasms earlier in the day, the team announced.
Pinion does not carry an injury designation on the game report for the Falcons (2-2) as they host the NFC South rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-1).
Pinion, 30, also shares kickoff duties and serves as the holder for placekicker Younghoe Koo. Atlanta does not have another punter on the 53-man roster or practice squad.
Through four games this season, Pinion is averaging 39.1 net yards on 12 punts with one touchback and two punts inside the opponents' 20-yard line.
A fifth-round draft pick by San Francisco in 2015, Pinion has played for the 49ers (2015-18), Buccaneers (2019-21) and Falcons. He won Super Bowl LV with Tampa Bay.
