Competing for starting role Carlson and undrafted rookie Caden Davis are slated to compete for the Jets' starting kicker job in training camp, with the team having released veteran Greg Zuerlein (knee) Friday...

Impact Carlson kicked for New York in five regular-season games in 2024, while also logging two appearances with the 49ers. In those seven contest combined, he converted 13 of 15 field-goal attempts and 12 of 15 extra-point tries. Zuerlein's release has been expected all offseason, but with the transaction now official, Carlson's path to a starting role Week 1 is unambiguous. The Jets could still bring in further competition, but for the time being Davis, an undrafted rookie out of Ole Miss, is his only rival for the No. 1 gig.

Jets release kicker Greg Zuerlein, the latest veteran to depart in the team's youth movement

The New York Jets have released kicker Greg Zuerlein in an expected move as the team continues to get younger

MAY 16, 2025 • Associated Press

Back with New York The Jets signed Carlson to a reserve/future contract Tuesday.

Impact Carlson kicked in five games for the Jets at the tail end of this past season, and he went 9 of 11 on his extra-point tries and 8 of 10 on field-goal attempts. The results were mixed, but the Jets are going to give the 26-year-old a longer look this upcoming offseason.

JANUARY 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Dropped by Jets The Jets waived Carlson on Monday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The 2023 sixth-round pick from Auburn served as the Jets' top kicker in five games this season while Greg Zuerlein was sidelined with a knee injury before being waived Monday. Carlson was fairly accurate kicking for New York, converting eight of his 10 field-goal attempts, with each of his misses coming from 50-plus yards. However, Carlson missed two extra-point tries on just 11 attempts, far below the NFL's average success rate of 95.9 percent. The 26-year-old could remain in New York on the team's practice squad if he clears waivers.

Inactive Sunday Carlson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Bills.

Impact The kicker missed an extra point and a 49-yard field-goal attempt in last Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Rams. After that defeat, Jets coach Jeff Ulbrich said the team would explore its options at kicker, per Rich Cimini of ESPN.com. Former starter Greg Zuerlein was activated off injured reserve Saturday after missing seven games with a knee injury.

DECEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Job in jeopardy following loss Carlson went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and missed his lone extra-point attempt during the Jets' 19-9 loss to the Rams on Sunday.

Impact Carlson missed his only extra-point try of the game late in the first quarter. He made a 21-yard chip shot as time expired in the first half, but his 49-yard field-goal attempt late in the fourth quarter missed wide right, and it was a crucial miss as it prevented the Jets from reducing the deficit to one score. Sunday's loss could've been Carlson's last game with Gang Green, as head coach Jeff Ulbrich said Monday that the Jets are going to explore their options at kicker this week, per Rich Cimini of ESPN.com. The Jets don't have a kicker signed to the practice squad, but it sounds likely that they will add one ahead of their Week 17 matchup against the Bills on Sunday, Dec. 29.

DECEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

First missed FG of 2024 Carlson made one of two field-goal attempts and all three PAT tries in Sunday's 32-25 win over the Jaguars.

Impact Carlson's miss from 48 yards in the fourth quarter marked his first missed field-goal attempt in six appearances between the 49ers and Jets this season, though he has had a pair of PATs go astray. He connected on a 43-yard try in the third quarter. The Jets haven't provided an update on Greg Zuerlein (knee) since the veteran kicker went on injured reserve Oct. 30, so Carlson's likely to remain the kicker against the Rams in Week 16.

DECEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Busy in Week 14 loss Carlson made all four of his field-goal attempts and both PAT tries in Sunday's 32-26 overtime loss to the Dolphins.

Impact Carlson's leg strength wasn't tested, as his longest kick was a 42-yard field goal that put the Jets up by three with 52 seconds left in the fourth quarter. He demonstrated strong accuracy, but it was all for naught, as Miami tied it up in the final seconds of regulation before scoring a walk-off touchdown in overtime. Carlson could be busy again in Week 15, giving him fantasy streaming appeal against the 3-10 Jaguars.

Minimal volume in loss Carlson didn't attempt a field goal and made one of two PAT attempts in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Seahawks.

Impact Carlson's PAT attempt was blocked after the Jets' first touchdown, so the Jets went for two after one of their other two scores. He also recovered a fumble by Seahawks kickoff return man Laviska Shenault. Greg Zuerlein (knee) is eligible to come off IR in Week 14 against the Dolphins, but if the veteran isn't ready to return, then Carlson would continue to kick for the Jets.

NOVEMBER 19, 2024 • NEWYORKJETS.COM

officially joins active roster Carlson signed with the Jets' 53-man roster Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Carlson joined the Jets' practice squad Nov. 8 and was elevated to be their kicker in Sunday's loss to the Colts. After a perfect performance, including a career-long 58-yard make, the second-year pro will now keep his spot on New York's roster.

NOVEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Makes 58-yarder in loss Carlson made both of his field-goal attempts and all three of his PAT attempts in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Colts.

Impact Carlson's strong performance in his Jets debut was a small silver lining as New York fell to 3-8. He made a career-long 58-yard field goal in the third quarter and added a 35-yarder in the fourth. Carlson's trying to get his career back on track after missing six of 33 field-goal attempts and five of 39 PATs in his rookie regular season with the Packers in 2023.

Set to start Sunday Carlson was elevated from the practice squad Saturday.

Impact Thus Carlson will become the Jets' fourth starting kicker in as many weeks. With Spencer Shrader signed away from the team's practice squad by the Chiefs earlier this week, it stands to reason Carlson could be the team's starter for the immediate future, or at least until Greg Zuerlein (knee) potentially returns off injured reserve. Carlson was erratic in his first year with the Packers, but he was much better in his two starts with the 49ers earlier this year making all five of his field-goal attempts while missing one extra-point attempt.

Jets Activate S Chuck Clark, Elevate K Anders Carlson Green & White Release OL Alec Lindstrom

NOVEMBER 16, 2024 • NEWYORKJETS.COM

Likely to kick for Jets in Week 11 The Jets are expected to elevate Carlson from their practice squad to handle kicking duties in Sunday's game against the Colts, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Carlson will likely become the Jets' fourth kicker in four games, with Riley Patterson and Spencer Shrader having been moved up from the practice squad in Weeks 9 and 10, respectively, after Greg Zuerlein (knee) was moved to injured reserve following Week 8. Riley Patterson was cut after Week 9, and though Shrader was likely the Jets' preferred choice to kick against Indianapolis, he ended up being signed to the Chiefs' 53-man roster Thursday. Zuerlein won't be eligible to return from IR until Week 14, so Carlson could be in store for at least a two-game run as the Jets' kicker. Carlson previously went 5-for-5 on field-goal attempts in two games with the 49ers earlier this season, but he was erratic during his time with Green Bay as a rookie in 2023, missing 13 kicks (seven field goals, six extra points) across 19 combined regular-season and playoff appearances.

NOVEMBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Signs to Jets' practice squad The Jets signed Carlson to their practice squad Friday.

Impact Carlson looks like the favorite to kick for the Jets on Sunday against the Cardinals after the team waived Riley Patterson in a separate move Friday. Carlson kicked in two games for the 49ers in Weeks 7 and 8, but he was cut earlier in the week with Jake Moody (ankle) looking ready to return. Carlson went five-for-five on field goals for San Francisco and made three of his four extra-point tries.

NOVEMBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Cut by Niners The 49ers cut Carlson from their practice squad Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Impact Carlson's release likely signals that the 49ers are expecting Jake Moody (ankle) to return from a three-game absence to handle kicking duties coming out of a Week 9 bye. The 26-year-old filled in for Moody in Weeks 7 and 8, going 5-for-5 on field-goal attempts and 3-for-4 on extra-point tries.

NOVEMBER 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Reverts to practice squad Carlson reverted to the 49ers' practice squad Monday.

Impact Carlson went three-for-three on both his field-goal attempts and extra-point tries during Sunday's win over the Cowboys, as he once again served as the team's kicker since Jake Moody (ankle) remains sidelined. Carlson will continue to hold this role following the team's upcoming bye for their Week 10 versus Tampa Bay if Moody is unable to return.
