Despite being added to the injury report on Saturday due to illness, punter JK Scott will play in the Green Bay Packers‘ showdown with the San Francisco 49ers with the NFC Championship on the line.
The Packers will need to be at their best in all three phases of the game on Sunday evening, and that includes special teams. Scott gives them an opportunity to do that, and he’ll be key in the role of maintaining good field position with long punts.
Just as important is his role on field goals and extra-point tries.
