Anders Carlson has competition for Green Bay Packers’ kicking job this time around

Anders Carlson’s most recent kick for the Green Bay Packers went wide left on a 41-yard field-goal attempt with 6:18 left in an NFC second-round game against the San Francisco 49ers on Jan. 20.

The 49ers responded with a 12-play, 69-yard drive capped by running back Christian McCaffrey’s 6-yard touchdown run with 67 seconds to play. San Francisco took a 24-21 lead instead of tying the game, and that ended up as the final score.

After joining Green Bay as a sixth-round selection from Auburn in the 2023 NFL Draft, Carlson was the only kicker on the Packers’ roster from May 22 on.
