49ers sign former Packers kicker to the practice squad with Matthew Wright’s status for Week 7 in question

According to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the San Francisco 49ers are signing kicker Anders Carlson to the practice squad. The Niners need insurance if Matthew Wright, who was just signed a week ago, cannot play with his injured shoulder.

Carlson was a sixth-round pick in 2023 by the Green Bay Packers. He made 27 of 33 kicks last season with Green Bay but missed 50 percent of his attempts from the 40 to 49-yard range while making three of his five 50+ yard attempts. Carlson also missed five of his 39 extra-point attempts.
