NFL: Former Baltimore Ravens Kicker Justin Tucker Suspended 10 Games

Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss Justin Tucker's suspension.

On May 5, 2025, the Baltimore Ravens released Tucker after 13 seasons. The team described it as a “football decision,” citing roster direction and his down year in 2024, despite no criminal charges at the time. Then beginning in January 2025, reports emerged that 16 massage therapists from Baltimore-area spas accused Tucker of sexual misconduct during sessions between 2012 and 2016. The allegations included exposing himself and other improper behaviors—claims which Tucker has firmly denied. Despite his denials, the NFL conducted an investigation under its personal conduct policy.

Yesterday, the league announced that Tucker would receive a 10-game suspension, effective August 26 (roster cut-down day), making him eligible to return on November 11. Tucker accepted the suspension without appeal, saying he wanted to "put this difficult episode behind him and get back on the field as soon as possible".

Meanwhile, Tucker is currently a free agent—able to sign with a team, attend training camp, and participate in preseason games. But if signed before August 26, he won’t be paid and must sit out the first ten regular‑season games.
