The Green Bay Packers made a lot of moves this off-season that ensured the future remains bright. They got younger while also getting more talented at positions of weakness. They also brought in a number of players to create competition across the roster that will force starters to keep earning their job.
However, one of those starters may be in the process of losing his job to that competition.
Green Bay Packers Starter In Danger Of Losing His Job After Another Underwhelming Practice
According to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic:
Both kickers went from 41, 45 and 47.
Anders Carlson went 1/3.
Greg Joseph went 3/3.
Carlson now 22/27 in camp. Joseph is 25/27.
It has been a long offseason for Packers kicker Anders Carlson. His competition has increased dramatically. Recent Packers releases include Jack Podlesny and James Turner, who was recently claimed off waivers by the Detroit Lions.
Throughout training camp, Carlson will face off against veteran Greg Joseph in a kicking competition. In the regular season, Carlson made 81.8% of his field goals, but in the postseason, he only made 66.7%.
Bringing in competition felt like a necessity to get Carlson on the right track, but he could lose his job all together.
