UPDATE: The Tennessee Titans have reportedly signed punter Ty Zentner to the practice squad (READ MORE HERE).
With punter Ryan Stonehouse out for the season, the Tennessee Titans brought in a slew of punters on Tuesday in order to find his temporary replacement.
Not on the list was Titans great and retired punter, Brett Kern, who many have wondered about as a potential option to replace Stonehouse.
When asked about the possibility of coming out of retirement to help the Titans for the final five games, Kern didn’t exactly say no, but he didn’t sound keen on doing it, either.
“I’m in great basketball shape right now, playing a lot of basketball,” Kern told the “Chase and Big Joe Show”. “But as far as punting the football, I retired for a reason, so I haven’t touched an NFL ball since the Super Bowl week of last year.
“When (the Stonehouse injury) happened yesterday, my kids were like ‘let’s go outside and punt some footballs, dad. Who knows? You might get a call.’ So, I’m out there, still in my church clothes and in my boots that I wore to church, just fooling around, punting, my son’s trying to catch them. It was a good time, but then I woke up this morning and I then remembered why I retired because I was sore just from the 15 punts I had with a junior ball.”
“I don’t know what’s going on with the whole situation, but we’ll see,” Kern added.
Now, a look at the seven punters Tennessee worked out on Tuesday, along with the career stats for each.
