Anders Carlson - Page 2 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Perfect for 12 points Carlson went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and 3-for-3 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 30-24 victory over Dallas.

Impact Carlson filled in for the 49ers for the second week in a row and turned in his finest game as a pro. The sophomore kicker was perfect on all six of his attempts for an offense that moved the ball freely against Dallas. Carlson may lose his starting job when Jake Moody (ankle) returns from injury. With the San Francisco entering its bye in Week 9, its probably safe to put Carlson back on the wire if you managed to benefit from Sunday's career performance.

Impact Carlson will get another chance to start for San Francisco with Jake Moody (ankle) ruled out for Week 8 and Matthew Wright (shoulder) on injured reserve. The second-year pro converted both of his field-goal tries Week 7 against the Chiefs, but he missed his lone extra-point attempt.

Impact Carlson will get another chance to start for San Francisco due to Jake Moody (ankle) being ruled out for Week 8 and Matthew Wright (shoulder) on injured reserve. Carlson, a second-year pro, converted both of his field-goal tries Week 7 against the Chiefs, but he missed his lone extra-point attempt.

Moves back to practice squad Carlson reverted to the 49ers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Carlson is getting a second chance in the NFL due to multiple injuries to kickers in San Francisco. While he netted both field-goal attempts (55 and 24 yards) during Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, he wasn't without his foibles like he was in Green Bay last season, missing his only point-after try. With Matthew Wright (shoulder) on injured reserve and Jake Moody (ankle) already ruled out for a Week 8 matchup against the Cowboys, as coach Kyle Shanahan told Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News on Monday, Carlson again will serve as the 49ers' placekicker this coming weekend.

Kicks two FGs Sunday Carlson went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and missed his only point-after try in Sunday's 28-18 loss to the Chiefs.

Impact Carlson made his debut for the 49ers on Sunday and made kicks from 24 and 55 yards out. The former Packers' placekicker missed his only PAT, but it was a decent debut from a fantasy standpoint. If Jake Moody (ankle) is unable to suit up for next Sunday's tilt against the Cowboys, then Carlson would likely earn another start with San Francisco.

WR Ricky Pearsall, K Anders Carlson Active vs. Chiefs; Inactives for #KCvsSF Seven San Francisco 49ers players are inactive for the team's Week 7 matchup vs. the Kansas City Chiefs.

Elevated to active roster Carlson was elevated to the active roster Saturday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact This was presumed with the injuries to both Jake Moody (ankle) and Matthew Wright (shoulder/back) in consecutive weeks. Carlson was one of the league's worst kickers in terms of extra-point conversion (34 of 39), and he also missed six of his 13 field-goal attempts from 40-plus yards out for the Packers last season. It'll be interesting to see if the second-year kicker can correct those issues with his second lease on life in the NFL.

To be elevated Saturday The 49ers are expected to elevate Carlson from the practice squad Saturday in advance of Sunday's contest against the Chiefs, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact San Francisco lost Jake Moody to a right high-ankle sprain Week 5 and Matthew Wright to shoulder and back injuries Week 6. The former is in line to miss about one month, while the latter is slated to be placed on injured reserve Saturday, setting up Carlson to be the team's placekicker Sunday and likely a few more contests after that. A sixth-round pick of the Packers in 2023, Carlson got just one campaign as the regular kicker in Green Bay due to frequent misses (27-for-33 on FGAs, 34-for-39 on PATs in 17 regular-season games) and didn't win a job battle out of training camp. He'll have a chance to bounce back working in conjunction with the 49ers offense.

Joins Niners' practice squad San Francisco signed Carlson to its practice squad Tuesday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Carlson was waived by the Packers prior to the beginning of the regular season after a shaky rookie year in 2023, but at least on paper, he might have a chance to see game action in 2024 anyways. If both Jake Moody (ankle) and Matthew Wright (shoulder) are unable to suit up Sunday, Carlson could be elevated from the practice squad to serve as San Francisco's starting kicker versus the Chiefs.

Who won the Packers' kicker competition – Anders Carlson or Greg Joseph? Green Bay waived a former Auburn standout on Tuesday.

AUGUST 27, 2024 • AL.COM

Cut loose by Packers The Packers waived Carlson on Tuesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Carlson missed seven field-goal attempts and six extra-point tries in 19 games last season, including playoffs, failing to meet expectations after Green Bay took him in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft. The Packers have since brought in Greg Joseph and Alex Hale for competition, with Joseph now seemingly set to enter Week 1 as the team's placekicker. Carlson is unlikely to find a starting job elsewhere but could get a spot on a practice squad, possibly even back in Green Bay.

Anders Carlson puts Green Bay on the board with 54-yard field goal | Packers vs. Ravens Green Bay Packers K Anders Carlson makes a 54-yard field goal during Saturday's preseason finale against the Baltimore Ravens.

AUGUST 24, 2024 • PACKERS.COM

Perfect in opener Carlson made two field goals and an extra point in Saturday's preseason opener against the Browns.

Impact Accuracy was an issue for Carlson in his rookie season, but it was not Saturday, as he made field goals from 46 and 33 yards as well as his lone point-after-touchdown attempt. Carlson remains locked in a competition with Greg Joseph for Green Bay's kicker job, and although the latter has fared a bit better during training camp, Carlson still has the advantage of being selected by Green Bay in the sixth round of the 2023 draft.

Anders Carlson says kickers are 'just trying to get better each and every day' Green Bay Packers K Anders Carlson spoke to the media on Tuesday about the competition and relationship with teammate Greg Joseph.

AUGUST 6, 2024 • PACKERS.COM

In danger of losing job? Fellow kicker Greg Joseph has been more accurate than Carlson during open practices this summer, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Packers brought in veteran competition this offseason after Carlson, a 2023 sixth-round pick, missed seven field-goal attempts and six PATs in 19 games (including playoffs) during his rookie campaign. Joseph has made 29 of 31 kicks in practices open to reporters at training camp, while Carlson is 25-of-31. That said, Joseph was also far from spectacular last year, going 24-of-30 on field-goal attempts for the division-rival Vikings -- his third straight year missing at least five FGAs.
