Jets' Anders Carlson: Joins 53-man roster
The New York Jets signed Anders Carlson to the 53-man roster Monday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.Carlson joined the Jets' practice squad Nov. 8 and was elevated ahead of this past Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Colts. After converting all five of his kicks (three extra points, two field goals) -- including a career-long 58-yard boot -- the second-year pro will now gain some job security. At least while Greg Zuerlein (knee) remains on injured reserve, Carlson should retain the Jets' kicking job.

Jets' Anders Carlson: Makes 58-yarder in loss
Anders Carlson made both of his field-goal attempts and all three of his PAT attempts in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Colts.Carlson's strong performance in his New York 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.

Jets' Anders Carlson: Set to start Sunday
Anders Carlson was elevated from the practice squad Saturday.Thus, Carlson will become the New York 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 of four extra-point attempts.

Anders Carlson: Likely to kick for Jets in Week 11
The Jets are expected to elevate Anders Carlson from their practice squad to handle kicking duties in Sunday's game against the Colts, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.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's being signed to the Chiefs' 53-man roster. 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.

49ers' Anders Carlson: Perfect for 12 points
Anders 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.Carlson filled in at placekicker 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 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.

49ers' Anders Carlson: Moves back to practice squad
Anders Carlson reverted to the San Francisco 49ers' practice squad Monday.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, missing his only point-after try. With Matthew Wright (shoulder) on injured reserve and with head coach Kyle Shanahan telling Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News on Monday that Jake Moody (ankle) won't be available to return Week 8 against the Cowboys, Carlson again will serve as the 49ers' placekicker this coming weekend.
