Anders Carlson’s shaky start doesn’t yet concern patient Packers

Rookie kicker Anders Carlson has missed 11 kicks during the first week of training camp, but the Green Bay Packers remain committed to patience with the ups and downs of a young specialist.

Carlson, a sixth-round pick, is 16-of-27 on field goals to open training camp.

“No concerns right now,” general manager Brian Gutekunst said Friday. “It is the National Football League, you have to perform at every position. At the same time, we went into this year knowing rookie kickers will have some struggles, with the thought process that there will be some patience.
