Despite punting only seven times, Packers not worried about rust with JK Scott

GREEN BAY – It’s not like Green Bay Packers punter JK Scott is hoping for more work, but his leg has so seldom been needed this season that you wonder if he might take on a second job.

Through four games, Scott has punted just seven times.

It was 38 minutes, 17 seconds into the season opener against Chicago last year when he reached his seventh punt. After four games last season, he had punted 23 times.

This season, the Packers are averaging 1.75 punts per game, two fewer than the league average, and Scott hasn’t punted enough to even qualify for the league rankings in gross and net yardage.
