Carlson made all three of his field goals in Sunday's 31-28 overtime win against the Dolphins, but he missed an extra-point attempt in the early stages of the fourth quarter.
EDGE Analysis
Carlson made up for his missed extra point by converting from 38 and 22 yards in overtime to secure the Raiders' third straight victory. His 34 total points through Week 3 rank second to none among the NFL.

Carlson made all four of his field-goal attempts and added a pair of extra points in Sunday's 26-17 win over the Steelers.
EDGE Analysis
Carlson is perfect on six field goals and five extra-point tries through the Raiders' first two contests of the season, tying Nick Folk with a league-leading 23 total points among kickers. The Raiders return home to Allegiant Stadium in Week 3 as they host the Dolphins, who just gave up 35 points to Buffalo.

Carlson made both of his field goals and all three of extra points during Monday's 33-27 win over the Ravens.
EDGE Analysis
Carlson ended the first half with a smooth 34-yard field goal that cut the Ravens' halftime lead to 14-10. After the Ravens took a 27-24 lead with less than a minute left in the fourth quarter, Derek Carr made a few solid throws to give Carlson a chance from 55 yards to send the game into overtime. Carlson stepped up and confidently sent one through the uprights. The 26-year-old has slowly transformed himself into a reliable kicker from all distances and is poised for another solid year in Las Vegas.

The Raiders activated Carlson (undisclosed) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Considering Carlson has resided on the list since Aug. 1, he likely tested positive for the virus, but the team isn't obligated to reveal as much. In any case, he's back and now is the only kicker on the Raiders after Dominik Eberle was waived Monday.

Carlson (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear whether Carlson tested positive for the virus, but he'll be away from the team until he clears league protocols regardless. Dominik Eberle, who recently was cut by the Raiders, re-signed with the team Sunday and will handle the kicking reps for the immediate future.

Carlson signed his restricted free agent tender from the Raiders on Thursday, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.
EDGE Analysis
In March, Las Vegas extended Carlson a second-round tender, a price that other organizations were unlikely to pay. Thus, he's back in the desert for a second consecutive year and a member of the Raiders for a fourth campaign. Carlson is coming off his best statistical season, when he connected on 33 of 35 field-goal attempts (94 percent) and 45 of 47 point-after tries (96 percent).

The Raiders extended Carlson a second-round tender Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Carlson was outstanding for the Raiders in 2020, making 33 of 35 field-goal attempts and 45 of 47 extra-point tries en route to a single-season franchise record of 144 points. This should prevent an offer sheet for Carlson, who will earn $3.384 million in 2020 if he signs the tender.

Carlson made his only field-goal attempt and buried all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 32-31 win over the Broncos.
EDGE Analysis
Carlson missed just two of 35 total field-goal attempts during an impressive 2020 campaign and also made 45 of 47 extra-point tries. His 144 points set the franchise record for most points scored in a single season, which was previously held by Raiders legend Sebastian Janikowski. Carlson's stellar closing stretch earned him AFC Special Teams Player of the Month for December, helping him gain momentum ahead of restricted free agency this offseason. Las Vegas likely plans to lure him back.

Carlson made all four of his field-goal attempts and converted one of two extra-points tries in Saturday's 26-25 loss to the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
Carlson's first extra-point miss since Week 5 proved costly as the Raiders ultimately suffered a one-point loss to be removed from playoff contention. The Auburn product's four field goals marked a season high, however, but three of them were booted from 23 yards or less. Carlson has now gone three consecutive games without attempting a field goal from 40-plus.

Carlson converted a pair of field-goal attempts and made all three of his extra-point tries in Thursday's 30-27 loss to the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
Carlson's nine points on Thursday Night Football matched his Week 14 line as well, nailing multiple field goals from inside 30 yards to accompany a trio of extra points again. Carlson hasn't missed an attempt since Week 8 as Las Vegas is now slated to host the Dolphins this Saturday.
