The Green Bay Packers have an interesting competition of legitimate consequence brewing in training camp, which could result in the Pack parting ways with one of its recent draft picks.
Kicker Anders Carlson, a sixth-round selection in 2023, missed a fateful field goal try in the late stages of Green Bay’s NFC Divisional Playoff matchup against its long-time rival the San Francisco 49ers. That mistake contributed to a crushing 3-point loss in a game the Packers arguably should have won.
The controversy that swirled around Carlson and head coach Matt LaFleur after the defeat has ultimately manifested in a summer face-off between Carlson and former Minnesota Vikings kicker Greg Joseph for the starting job. And as of right now, Joseph is winning.
