News

  • Slightly regresses in 2023

    Carlson converted both of his field-goal attempts and three extra-point tries in the Raiders' Week 18 win over the Broncos, ultimately finishing the 2023 campaign with 26 total field goals made on 30 attempts to go along with 32 extra points on as many tries.

    Analysis: Carlson nailed less than 33 field goals while posting a sub-90 percent conversion rate in a single season for the first time since 2019, notching just 110 total points across 17 games in 2023. Nonetheless, he remains one of the more reliable kickers around the league, and Carlson has two years remaining on his current contract with the Raiders.

  • Boots two field goals in loss

    Carlson converted both of his field-goal attempts and two extra-point tries in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Colts.

    Analysis: Carlson nailed a pair of field goals in back-to-back road games the last two weeks in Kansas City and Indianapolis, as the Raiders now return home for their regular-season finale against the Broncos.

  • Nails two field goals Monday

    Carlson converted both of his field-goal attempts in Monday's 20-14 win over the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Carlson notched six points in the low-scoring affair, making a pair of field goals from 24 and 35 yards en route to victory at Arrowhead Stadium. Nonetheless, a much friendlier kicking environment appears on the schedule for Carlson in Week 17 as the Raiders travel to Indianapolis.

  • Tallies nine extra points on TNF

    Carlson made all nine of his extra-point attempts in Thursday's 63-21 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: Carlson didn't attempt a single field goal for the second straight week, but he contributed nine extra points in the Raiders' blowout victory. A tougher test looms against the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium in Week 16.

  • Zero attempts against former team

    Carlson did not attempt a kick in Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: Carlson managed to suit up Sunday despite dealing with an illness that impacted his practice participation earlier in the week, but he wasn't given the chance to attempt a single kick against his former team as the stout Vikings defense stymied the Raiders offense. An easier matchup awaits against the Chargers on Thursday Night Football in Week 15.

  • Good to go for Sunday

    Carlson (illness) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.

    Analysis: Carlson was added to the Raiders' Week 14 injury report Thursday after an illness prevented him from practicing, but he was back on the field Friday as a full participant and is good to go for Sunday. This weekend, Carlson will be facing off against the team that selected him in the fifth round of the 2018 NFL Draft. He's emerged as one of the NFL's most reliable kickers since leaving Minnesota midway through the 2018 season, converting on 89 percent of his field-goal attempts over 88 career…read more

  • Misses practice Thursday

    Carlson (illness) did not participate in practice Thursday, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.

    Analysis: The kicker was not listed on Wednesday's injury report. His status will be something to monitor as the Raiders' Week 14 matchup with the Vikings approaches. Las Vegas does not have another kicker on its roster.

  • Misses 30-yard attempt Sunday

    Carlson converted one of two field-goal attempts and added a pair of extra points in Sunday's 31-17 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Carlson's 30-yard FG attempt in the first quarter sailed wide right, his first miss since Week 7 before rebounding with a 34-yard make in the second half. He'll look to bounce back from the five-point effort when the Raiders return from their bye against the Vikings in Week 14.

  • Nails two field goals Sunday

    Carlson converted both of his field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Carlson has been automatic on each of his last eight field-goal attempts throughout the Raiders' past three contests, notching 29 total points during this recent stretch. However, a difficult matchup against the stingy Chiefs defense awaits Las Vegas in Week 12.

  • Adds 10 points in SNF win

    Carlson made all three of his field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 16-12 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Carlson appears to be past the minor groin injury that impacted his practice participation from late October into early November, making three field goals in back-to-back contests the past two weeks. Carlson's Sunday Night Football performance was highlighted by a 54-yard field goal as time expired at the end of the first half, marking his first 50-plus yard conversion of the season. The Raiders now travel to Miami for a Week 11 matchup against the Dolphins.

  • Buries three field goals Sunday

    Carlson converted all three of his field-goal attempts and a trio of extra-point tries in Sunday's 30-6 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Carlson didn't let the groin injury that kept him limited in practice throughout the week bother him Sunday, tallying 12 total points for his second-best output of the season through nine games, notably making two of his field goals from 40-plus yards. Although Las Vegas' offense might've shown signs of improvement upon the firing of coach Josh McDaniels and with Aidan O'Connell's promotion to starting quarterback, a tough test awaits Week 10 as a stingy Jets defense arrives to town.

  • Gains clearance for Week 9

    Carlson (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Giants, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.

    Analysis: Carlson's good to go despite being limited in all three of Vegas' practices during the week. The offense trying to get him in position for kicks will be quarterbacked by rookie Aidan O'Connell after the Raiders benched Jimmy Garoppolo and fired coach Josh McDaniels in the week leading up to the team's Week 9 matchup with the Giants.

  • Limited by groin issue

    Carlson (groin) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report.

    Analysis: Carlson was listed as questionable after logging one limited practice session ahead of Monday's game against the Lions. Concern about Carlson's status prompted Las Vegas to add James McCourt to their practice squad and elevate him to the active roster Monday, but he was ultimately inactive after Carlson got the green light to play. He converted both of his extra-point attempts in the Raiders' 26-14 loss, showing no visible signs of a setback. That said, until Carlson practices fully, his status…read more

  • Makes pair of XPs on Monday

    Carlson converted both of his extra-point attempts in Monday's 26-14 loss to the Lions.

    Analysis: Carlson was able to play through the groin injury that impacted his practice availability earlier in the week, but he ultimately wasn't given the chance to attempt a field goal on Monday Night Football. The 3-5 Raiders now head back home for a Week 9 matchup against the Giants.

  • Active in Week 8

    Carlson (groin) is listed as active Monday at Detroit.

    Analysis: Carlson managed only one limited practice in advance of this Week 8 contest, but his groin injury won't impact his availability Monday. He'll thus be facing a Lions team that has given up the ninth-fewest field-goal attempts (14) and 12th-fewest point-after tries (14) to opposing kickers this season.

  • Slated to play Monday

    Carlson (groin) is in line to be the Raiders' placekicker Monday at Detroit, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: After missing the first two practices of Week 8 prep due to a groin injury, Carlson was able to log a limited session Saturday and put himself in a position to play Monday. The Raiders won't confirm his availability until about 90 minutes before the 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, but it appears as if Carlson will be active and James McCourt may be a healthy scratch for Las Vegas after the latter was elevated from the practice squad.

  • Questionable for Monday

    Carlson (groin) is listed as questionable for Monday's contest against the Lions, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.

    Analysis: Carlson did manage to practice in limited fashion Saturday after missing the previous two days, but it's still unclear if the Pro Bowl kicker will be healthy enough to play in Monday's primetime matchup. Expect the team to tip off the plan for Carlson when it's revealed who gets elevated from the practice squad Sunday.

  • Records another DNP

    Carlson (groin) missed Friday's practice, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.

    Analysis: The 28-year-old recorded his second consecutive DNP on Friday, and it now seems as if he's trending in the wrong direction to play Monday night. Carlson has appeared in 77 consecutive games for the Raiders since 2019, converting on 88 percent of his field-goal attempts during that stretch.

    Carlson didn't practice Thursday due to a groin injury, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.

    Analysis: Carlson now has two more chances to practice ahead of Monday night's game against the Lions. If, however, he's unavailable for the contest, James McCourt is a candidate to be elevated from the Raiders' practice squad in advance of Week 8 action.

    Analysis: Carlson missed a 41-yard attempt wide left to end the Raiders' opening drive without any points, but he connected from 40 and 25 yards later in the contest. He's now just 11 of 14 on field-goal attempts through the first seven weeks of the season, however. Carlson will look to bounce back in Detroit's domed environment Week 8.

    Carlson converted all four of his field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try in Sunday's 21-17 win over the Patriots.

    Analysis: Carlson rebounded from his pair of failed field-goal attempts on Monday Night Football in Week 5 by notching his best performance of the season with a 13-point effort Sunday, making four field goals all from inside 40 yards. The Raiders now travel to Soldier Field for a Week 7 matchup against the Bears.

  • Rough outing on MNF

    Carlson converted one of three field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries in Monday's 17-13 win over the Packers.

    Analysis: Carlson had a 53-yard attempt blocked by the Packers near the end of the first half, and his next field-goal opportunity from 52 yards at the final two-minute warning clanked off the right upright. Although Carlson's three attempts were a season high, he finished the game with just one made field goal for a fifth consecutive week. The Raiders stay in Las Vegas for a Week 6 matchup against the Patriots.

  • Tallies five points in defeat

    Carlson converted his only field-goal attempt and both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: Carlson has attempted just one field goal in each of the Raiders' first four games, restricting his fantasy output despite a trustworthy leg from distance in years past. His lone make Sunday came from only 22 yards, as coach Josh McDaniels continues to favor a conservative approach when it comes to fourth-down decisions in the red zone.

  • Makes 26-yard field goal

    Carlson converted both his only field-goal attempt and extra-point try in Sunday's 23-18 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: Carlson might've left Sunday's tilt without attempting a single field goal if it weren't for Raiders coach Josh McDaniels electing to make it a five-point game with just over two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. Carlson has yet to miss a kick this season, but he's registered only 13 total points through the first three weeks.

    Analysis: Carlson's output was limited by the Raiders' offensive struggles, but he still managed to convert a 47-yard field goal in the second quarter before the game got out of hand. Carlson will be kicking indoors at Allegiant Stadium against the Steelers in Week 3 as Las Vegas makes its 2023 home debut.

    Analysis: Carlson's lone field goal came from 24 yards. Although his five total points were below last season's impressive average of 8.06 per game, Carlson's second PAT ultimately was the difference in the score Sunday, helping the Raiders start their season on a positive note.

    Analysis: Carlson booted his 11th 50-yard plus field goal of the season during the first quarter Saturday, and he ultimately finished the 2022 campaign tied for third in points scored with 137 behind only fellow kickers Jason Myers and Justin Tucker. Carlson made 34 of 37 field-goal attempts in 17 games, registering a conversion rate north of 90 percent for a third consecutive year, while also nailing 35 of 36 extra-point tries.

    Analysis: Carlson's productive performance was highlighted by a 57-yard field goal that tied the contest at 27 apiece with less than five minutes remaining. He's now made 10 of 12 attempts from 50-plus this season, gaining momentum ahead of a Week 18 matchup against the Chiefs at home in Allegiant Stadium.

    Carlson made his only field-goal attempt and converted his lone extra-point try in Saturday's 13-10 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: Carlson had a quiet day as the Raiders struggled to move the ball on offense. The veteran kicker has now made 30 field goals this season, tied for the third-most of all kickers. Despite his minimal involvement against the Steelers, Carlson remains worthy of consideration heading into a Week 17 matchup with the 49ers.

    Carlson made his only field-goal attempt and converted all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Patriots.

    Analysis: Despite the Raiders putting up 30 points on the Pats, Carlson attempted less than three field goals in a contest for the first time since Week 10, though he nailed his lone effort from 49 yards on the game's first scoring play Sunday. He's now slated to face a more challenging environment on the road against the Steelers, with sub-freezing temperatures expected Saturday night in Pittsburgh.

  • Finally misses at Allegiant Stadium

    Carlson made two of three field-goal attempts and converted all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: Carlson's first career miss inside Las Vegas' Allegiant Stadium came at the end of the first half Sunday, when his 52-yard attempt sailed wide left. He connected from 55 yards earlier in the second quarter, but he's now missed from 50-plus in back-to-back contests. Carlson could benefit from the Raiders' upcoming matchup against a struggling Rams squad.

    Carlson converted two of three field-goal attempts and added four extra points in Sunday's 40-34 overtime win over the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Carlson finally missed from 50-plus for the first time this season at quite an inopportune time when his 56-yard attempt sailed wide right to end the Raiders' first overtime possession, but the defense managed to force Seattle into an immediate three-and-out to ultimately set up Josh Jacobs' game-winning run. Carlson has missed a field-goal attempt in back-to-back weeks now, but he's still 23-of-25 on the season for a 92 percent success rate.

    Carlson made three of four field-goal attempts and converted his only extra-point try in Sunday's 22-16 overtime win over the Broncos.

    Analysis: Carlson missed his first field-goal attempt since Week 9 of the 2021 season when his 46-yard effort sailed wide right in the early stages of the second quarter. However, he rebounded from the rare mistake in a massive way with connections from 52, 57 and 25 yards in the second half to ultimately send the Raiders to overtime. Carlson hadn't made, nor even attempted three field goals in a game since Week 5 prior to Sunday's victory.

  • Adds pair of extra points

    Carlson converted two extra-point attempts in Sunday's 25-20 loss to the Colts.

    Analysis: Carlson has attempted just three total field goals across four games since the Raiders' bye week, so the team will perhaps find more opportunities for Carlson to showcase his range Week 11 in Denver.

    Carlson booted a pair of 38-yard field goals and converted two point-after attempts in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Carlson remains perfect on field-goal attempts this season, and his production picked up Sunday from a zero-point showing in Week 8, when the Raiders were shut out by the Saints. Carlson and the Raiders are at home against the Colts in Week 10.

  • Spectator in Week 8 loss

    Carlson did not register any point-after tries or field-goal attempts during Las Vegas' 24-0 loss at New Orleans on Sunday.

    Analysis: Besides sending the second-half kickoff into the end zone for a touchback, Carlson did not participate in a game where the Raiders came in as road favorites and were subsequently shut out by 2021 second-rounder Pete Werner and company. For his part, Carlson has been basically automatic this season, converting on all 16 of his field-goal attempts and 13 of 14 point-after tries, but he'll need his offense to find more success in order to have a chance at bouncing back in Week 9 when his team…read more

    Carlson and the Raiders will no longer play the Browns on Saturday, after the NFL officially rescheduled the matchup between the two teams for Monday at 5 p.m. ET.

    Analysis: Due to ongoing COVID-19-related issues within the Cleveland organization, the NFL is hopeful that by delaying the game two days, the Browns will restore enough players from the reserve/COVID-19 list to alleviate depth concerns on the roster. Assuming the Week 15 game is played Monday as planned, Carlson and Las Vegas will face a quick turnaround for the team's Week 16 contest versus the Broncos, which is still expected to be played Sunday, Dec. 26 as scheduled.

The second-year kicker has now missed three of his last eight field-goal tries -- all from beyond 40 yards. Still, coach Jon Gruden said he won't bring in kicker competition this week, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports. "We are going to see this kid kick himself out of it," Gruden said. " I got a lot of faith in this guy. I really do." For now, Carlson's job is safe, but he'll need…read more

  • Nails trio of extra points

    Carlson converted all three of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 42-21 loss to the Titans.

    Analysis: Carlson, who had missed at least one kick in four of the Raiders' five previous contests, provided just three total points Sunday as he was held without a field-goal attempt. A healthy matchup awaits in Week 15 against the Jaguars, who have given up at least 28 points in four straight games.

  • Rough showing against Kansas City

    Carlson made one of two field-goal attempts in Sunday's 40-9 loss to the Chiefs. He also had his lone extra-point attempt blocked and returned for a defensive two-point conversion.

    Analysis: Carlson has now missed at least one kick in four of the Raiders' last five games, and his failed 44-yard attempt against the Chiefs was not even close as it sailed wide left. Oakland's offensive struggles as a whole continued after a similarly poor performance in Week 12 against the Jets, so Carlson isn't a very intriguing fantasy option heading into a tough matchup with the Titans.

  • Misses 43-yarder in loss

    Carlson made one of two field-goal attempts in Sunday's 34-3 loss to the Jets.

    Analysis: The Raiders' offense was stuffed all game long in what became a huge blowout throughout the third quarter, but Carlson failed to capitalize on a 43-yard attempt that would've given him six points on the day. He's now 11 of 15 on field-goal attempts this season as the Raiders head to Kansas City for a divisional Week 13 tilt.

  • Tallies five points in win

    Carlson made his lone field-goal attempt from 20 yards and added a pair of extra points in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: The Raiders already owned a four-point lead when Carlson was tasked with converting a 20-yard field goal in the fourth quarter, so his Week 11 effort remained relatively devoid of pressure. Additional scoring opportunities should be on the horizon in Week 12 against a Jets squad that has recently given up 26 or more points each to the feeble Giants, Dolphins and Jaguars.

  • Misses pair of kicks Thursday

    Carlson converted two of three field-goal attempts and two of three extra-point tries in Thursday's 26-24 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: Carlson's missed 53-yard attempt wasn't much of a concern, but his failure to convert an extra point with roughly one minute remaining in the contest gave the Chargers life. The Raiders' defense prevailed down the stretch, however, so Carlson can forget about the error and look forward to an easier matchup in Week 11 against the Bengals.

  • Misses field-goal attempt in win

    Carlson made one of his two field-goal attempts and all four extra-point tries in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Lions.

    Analysis: It was the first game all season where Carlson was called upon for more than one field goal, but the 24-year-old couldn't convert his second chance, sending a 45-yarder wide left. It was his second miss of the season in nine tries.
