Sources: Vikings release K Daniel Carlson following 0-for-3 day
EAGAN, Minn. -- The Minnesota Vikings have cut ties with kicker Daniel Carlson one day after he went 0-for-3 on field goals against Green Bay, multiple sources confirmed to ESPN. Minnesota is replacing the rookie with veteran kicker Dan Bailey, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The Vikings also announced the signing of wide receiver Aldrick Robinson, who Minnesota brought in for a workout on Sept. 7.
Carlson missed field goals from 48, 49 and 35 yards out in the Vikings 29-29 overtime tie against the Packers. After his first field goal attempt in OT sailed wide right, Minnesota went back to Carlson to kick a 35-yard would-be game-winner.
