The Chargers’ shore-up of their special teams continues.

Los Angeles signed punter JK Scott on Monday, according to the team.

Scott will replace Ty Long, a restricted free agent who was not tendered, meaning he is not on the roster.

Scott joined the Packers as a fifth-round pick in the 2018 NFL draft. Scott averaged 44.61 yards on 194 punts during his three seasons with Green Bay.

But in 2021, the Packers replaced him with Corey Bojorquez, who was the NFL’s leading punter in 2020 with a 50.8-yard average for the Bills.

Appearing in one game for Jacksonville, Scott had four punts for 159 yards, with a long of 47 yards.
