Raiders Sign Veteran K Greg Joseph to Practice Squad, Putting Daniel Carlson on Notice

The practice-squad addition sets up real competition, making a pregame elevation the tell for any switch at kicker.

Overview

  • Las Vegas announced the practice-squad signing of Greg Joseph on Tuesday, adding the veteran with 75 NFL games of experience after he last kicked in 2024 for the Jets.
  • Daniel Carlson is converting 75% of field goals this season, including a costly 48-yard miss in a 10-7 loss at Denver in Week 10.
  • Three of Carlson’s four misses have come from 50-plus yards, a range that has been his biggest issue this year.
  • Joseph owns career marks of 82.3% on field goals and 90.8% on extra points, though he has made only about 55.6% from 50 yards and beyond.
  • Carlson remains the Raiders’ primary kicker for now, as Joseph would need to be elevated for game action, a move that would likely signal a benching before the Monday night game against Dallas.
