Latest News about J. K. Scott
The Chargers terminated J.K. Scott's contract as a procedural move on cutdown day to free a roster spot for linebacker Denzel Perryman, who was then placed on injured reserve. Scott was brought back the next day, keeping him as the team's punter heading into the 2026 season.
During a 41-17 preseason loss to the San Francisco 49ers at SoFi Stadium, Scott was criticised after receiver Jacob Cowing returned one of his punts 83 yards for a touchdown. Head coach Jim Harbaugh said Scott needed a better plan to make the tackle, which drew attention to his performance in coverage.
The Los Angeles Chargers re-signed J.K. Scott as free agency began, keeping him in place after he joined the team in 2022. Reports noted that he had become a steady part of the Chargers' special teams unit, with a career average of 45.1 yards per punt at that point.
