The Minnesota Vikings have waived rookie kicker Daniel Carlson and are expected to replace him with former Dallas Cowboy kicker Dan Bailey.
Carlson, the fifth-round draft pick, pulled all three of his field-goal attempts wide right at Green Bay. Two of Carlson’s misses came in overtime, forcing the Vikings to settle for a 29-29 tie with the rival Packers.
Carlson was awarded the job when the Vikings let Kai Forbath go on Aug. 20, and Carlson pulled two field-goal tries wide left in a preseason game four days later.
Bailey was expected to sign with the Vikings pending the results of a physical. He kicked for seven seasons for the Cowboys before being released this year.
