Mandatory Credit: Jeff Hanisch-USA TODAY Sports The Green Bay Packers cut kicker Anders Carlson, who missed a key field goal attempt in the NFC playoffs last season, multiple outlets reported Tuesday.
Carlson couldn't convert a 41-yard attempt in the Packers' 24-21 divisional-round playoff loss to the San Francisco 49ers in January -- a field goal that could have given Green Bay a seven-point lead with just over six minutes to play.
He struggled throughout his 2023 rookie season, missing five extra point tries and converting just 81.8 percent (27 of 33) of his field goal attempts in the regular season. The sixth-round draft pick also missed an extra point in the playoffs.
In training camp, the 26-year-old Carlson engaged in a competition with veteran Greg Joseph and undrafted free agent rookie Alex Hale.
The deadline for teams to get down to a 53-man roster is 4 p.m. Tuesday.
