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.
