Well-traveled Jake Schum hopes to find a home in Green Bay

Well, at least after he got some sleep.

The 27-year-old punter had a short turnaround but participated in the Packers’ final walkthrough before the team flew to Kansas City for its preseason finale.

It was a good tune-up for Thursday night’s game at Arrowhead Stadium, where Schum booted a career-high eight punts in a 17-7 loss to the Chiefs, averaging 45.5 yards per attempt and 41.3 net.

Three of Schum’s punts were landed inside the 10-yard line, while the only attempt that went for a touchback – a 57-yard effort in the first quarter – bounced softly twice near the goal line but rolled into the end zone without a gunner to corral it.
