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.

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.

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.

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 • 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 • 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.

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 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.

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.
OCTOBER 19 • ROTOWIRE
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.

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.
