Reverts to practice squad
Carlson reverted to the Bears' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
ANALYSIS
Carlson made his 2025 regular-season debut in the Bears' Week 4 win over the Raiders due to the absence of Colston Loveland (hip). Carlson played a total of 15 snaps (10 on offense, five on special teams) without otherwise showing up on the box score. Loveland will have additional time to recover from his injury thanks to the Week 5 bye, so Carlson will likely remain on the practice squad for the Bears' Week 6 clash against the Commanders on Monday, Oct. 13.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Drawing interest from Giants
Carlson had a workout with the Giants on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The tight end missed the entire 2021 season after suffering a torn ACL in the preseason with the Browns, but he's been cleared to resume football activities. Carlson didn't contribute much on offense during his two seasons with Cleveland, but he was a core special teams player in 2020 and could provide depth to a Giants' position group that lost Evan Engram and Kyle Rudolph this offseason.
