The Packers released Carson on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Carson's only offensive snaps with the Packers came Week 5 against Dallas, when he rushed six times for 14 yards and caught all four of his targets for 18 yards. Ryan Grant will now replace Carson on Green Bay's 53-man roster. His release leaves rookie sixth-round pick Dexter Williams as the lone reserve option at running back behind starters Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams.

Carson did not play a snap on offense in Monday's victory over the Lions.

EDGE Analysis

Carson served as the backup running back and got 10 touches in Week 5 with fellow back Jamaal Williams out with a concussion, but he was a non-factor in Week 6 with Williams back in action. The Packers have used only two halfbacks in each game this season, so expect Carson to remain in a depth-only role as long as Williams and Aaron Jones are healthy.

Carson had six carries for 14 yards and four receptions for 18 yards in Sunday's victory over the Cowboys.

EDGE Analysis

With fellow running back Jamaal Williams (concussion) sidelined in Week 5, the Packers brought up Carson from the practice squad, and he operated as the backup behind top running back Aaron Jones. Carson did not accumulate much yardage, but he did see a fair number of opportunities, handling 10 touches while playing 24 of a possible 74 snaps. Carson does not possess much upside as a fourth-year player who just received his first career touches, but he is firmly ahead of Dexter Williams on the Packers' depth chart, and would serve as the team's No. 2 back again in Week 6 should Jamaal Williams miss another game.

Carson is listed as active Sunday at Dallas.

EDGE Analysis

With Jamaal Williams sidelined due to a concussion, Carson and not Dexter Williams will be the direct backup to Aaron Jones. Carson has a good shot to get the first touch of his career.

Carson was promoted to the Packers' active roster Saturday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jamaal Williams (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Cowboys, so Carson was promoted to the active roster to serve as depth behind Aaron Jones and Dexter Williams. Carson entered the league in 2016 and hasn't logged a carry yet.

Carson signed with the Packers' practice squad Sunday, NBC26 Green Bay reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carson was waived by the team on Saturday but went unclaimed on waivers and will remain in Green Bay. The 26-year-old competed with Dexter Williams for the No. 3 running back job but ultimately lost the competition.

Carson was let go by the Packers on Saturday, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carson was competing with Dexter Williams for the No. 3 running back slot in Green Bay. He looked impressive in preseason and may have slightly outplayed Williams, but the team appears to have opted for higher long-term potential. Carson could land on a practice squad or be picked up as a depth runner for another team before the regular season begins.

Carson rushed six times for 25 yards and caught his lone target for 14 yards in Thursday night's 27-20 preseason win over the Chiefs.

EDGE Analysis

Carson started ahead of rookie sixth-rounder Dexter Williams and promptly ran for 15 yards on Green Bay's first offensive play. Although he'd later cede most the playing time to Williams, who finished with 64 yards and a touchdown on 11 touches, coach Matt LaFleur's admission last week that Carson topped Williams on the depth chart bodes well for his chances of earning the Packers' No. 3 tailback job behind Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams this season.

Carson is currently ahead of rookie Dexter Williams on the running back depth chart according to coach Matt LaFleur, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

LaFleur cited Carson's superior pass protection as the reason for his current edge over the rookie Williams. Both guys remain behind Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams at this point, but Carson's in a good position to earn a roster spot.

Carson carried the ball nine times for 32 yards and a touchdown while catching one of two targets for 11 yards in Thursday's preseason loss to the Raiders.

EDGE Analysis

Most of Carson's production came on a 22-yard TD run on the Packers' final possession of the first half. The second-year back didn't see a single touch in six games split between Green Bay and Cincinnati last season, and while Thursday's score likely helped his case when it comes to winning a roster spot, Carson's unlikely to be much more involved in the offense in 2019.
