Carlson did not attempt a kick in Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Vikings.
EDGE Analysis
Carlson managed to suit up Sunday despite dealing with an illness that impacted his practice participation earlier in the week, but he wasn't given the chance to attempt a single kick against his former team as the stout Vikings defense stymied the Raiders offense. An easier matchup awaits against the Chargers on Thursday Night Football in Week 15.

Carlson (illness) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Carlson was added to the Raiders' Week 14 injury report Thursday after an illness prevented him from practicing, but he was back on the field Friday as a full participant and is good to go for Sunday. This weekend, Carlson will be facing off against the team that selected him in the fifth round of the 2018 NFL Draft. He's emerged as one of the NFL's most reliable kickers since leaving Minnesota midway through the 2018 season, converting on 89 percent of his field-goal attempts over 88 career games with the Raiders.

Carlson (illness) did not participate in practice Thursday, Anthony Galaviz of The Fresno Bee reports.
EDGE Analysis
The kicker was not listed on Wednesday's injury report. His status will be something to monitor as the Raiders' Week 14 matchup with the Vikings approaches. Las Vegas does not have another kicker on its roster.

Carlson converted one of two field-goal attempts and added a pair of extra points in Sunday's 31-17 loss to the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
Carlson's 30-yard FG attempt in the first quarter sailed wide right, his first miss since Week 7 before rebounding with a 34-yard make in the second half. He'll look to bounce back from the five-point effort when the Raiders return from their bye against the Vikings in Week 14.

Carlson converted both of his field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
Carlson has been automatic on each of his last eight field-goal attempts throughout the Raiders' past three contests, notching 29 total points during this recent stretch. However, a difficult matchup against the stingy Chiefs defense awaits Las Vegas in Week 12.

Carlson made all three of his field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 16-12 win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Carlson appears to be past the minor groin injury that impacted his practice participation from late October into early November, making three field goals in back-to-back contests the past two weeks. Carlson's Sunday Night Football performance was highlighted by a 54-yard field goal as time expired at the end of the first half, marking his first 50-plus yard conversion of the season. The Raiders now travel to Miami for a Week 11 matchup against the Dolphins.

Carlson converted all three of his field-goal attempts and a trio of extra-point tries in Sunday's 30-6 win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Carlson didn't let the groin injury that kept him limited in practice throughout the week bother him Sunday, tallying 12 total points for his second-best output of the season through nine games, notably making two of his field goals from 40-plus yards. Although Las Vegas' offense might've shown signs of improvement upon the firing of coach Josh McDaniels along with Aidan O'Connell's promotion to starting quarterback, a tough test awaits Week 10 as a stingy Jets defense arrives to town.

Carlson (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Giants, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Carlson's good to go despite being limited in all three of Vegas' practices during the week. The offense trying to get him in position for kicks will be quarterbacked by rookie Aidan O'Connell after the Raiders benched Jimmy Garoppolo and fired coach Josh McDaniels in the week leading up to the team's Week 9 matchup with the Giants.

Carlson was listed as limited on Wednesday's estimated practice report due to a groin injury.
EDGE Analysis
Carlson was only able to log one limited practice session in the week leading up to Monday's game against the Lions. It led to the Raiders adding James McCourt to their practice squad and elevating him to the active roster ahead of Monday's contest, but Carlson was ultimately able to play and converted both of his extra-point attempts. His practice participation will be something to monitor ahead of the Raiders' Week 9 matchup against the Giants.
