The concerns coming out of Green Bay’s training camp about rookie kicker Anders Carlson spilled into public view in the Packers’ preseason opener.

After hammering through three extra points and a 45-yard field goal, Carlson pushed point-after attempts to the right after Green Bay’s final two touchdowns as the Packers pulled away to a 36-19 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on Friday night.

“I don’t want to look too far into it,” Green Bay coach Matt LaFleur said during his postgame press conference. “It’s one game, but as long as you learn from it and get better and make the necessary adjustments, then a lot of times you come back stronger from it.”

Kicks missed to the right of the uprights have been the troublesome aspect in the former Auburn standout’s first NFL training camp. Carlson sees that as correctable.

“You don’t want to go right, left, right because then you’re just kind of lost,” Carlson said. “I like my mindset. I’ve just got to fix some technical things.”

The adjustment, Carlson said, is to stop rushing into his kicks like an anxious rookie.

“I need to go back to my tempo and get a little slower,” Carlson said. “I get maybe a little too excited, so it’s something to watch for and it’s something I know. I need to fix the tempo.”

Green Bay general manager Brian Gutekunst selected Carlson from Auburn in the sixth round of the NFL Draft on April 29 and resisted re-signing Mason Crosby, who served as the Packers’ kicker for the previous 16 seasons.

“No concerns right now,” Gutekunst said when asked about Carlson’s training-camp performance before Green Bay’s Family Night practice. “I do think it’s one of those things that this is the National Football League, you’ve got to perform at every position. At the same time, we went into this kind of knowing that rookie kickers will have some struggles with the thought process. There’ll be some patience there.”

Carlson rewarded Gutekunst by making 9-of-10 field-goal attempts in front of the crowd at Lambeau Field at Family Night. But the kicker said his position doesn’t allow for a learning curve.

“As a kicker, you don’t really have a rookie year,” Carlson said on Monday. “It’s kind of like you’ve got to get into it and you’ve got to perform like any other kicker would in the league, so for me, it’s encouraging everyone around me, and I think we’re taking the right steps. But I know it’s the first year, but it’s got to be right.”

Carlson knows about impatience with rookie kickers. His brother Daniel Carlson preceded him as a kicker at Auburn and in the NFL.

After being selected in the fifth round of the 2018 NFL Draft by the Minnesota Vikings, Daniel Carlson missed three field-goal attempts, including two in overtime, in a 29-29 tie with the Buffalo Bills in his second regular-season game.

The next day, Minnesota waived Carlson, and Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said it was a “pretty easy” decision.

Carlson landed with the Oakland Raiders later in the 2018 season. He tied for the NFL scoring lead in 2020 and 2021 and earned first-team All-Pro recognition in 2022, when he set an NFL record with 11 field goals of at least 50 yards.

Green Bay plays its second preseason game at 7 p.m. CDT Saturday, when the New England Patriots visit Lambeau Field.

Anders Carlson has been working with two long snappers and two holders as the Packers progress toward their regular-season opener against the Chicago Bears on Sept. 10. But Carlson didn’t blame any of his problems on the mix-and-match nature of his setup situation.
