Former Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker has been suspended for the first 10 weeks of the 2025 NFL season for violating the league’s personal conduct policy, the NFL announced Thursday.
Tucker, currently a free agent, is allowed to serve the suspension without being on a roster. If he signs with a team, he can participate in training camp and preseason games. The suspension will officially begin on August 26, and he will be eligible for reinstatement on November 11.
Tucker, 35, was accused of sexual misconduct by 16 massage therapists from eight luxury spas and wellness centers in the Baltimore area. According to The Baltimore Banner, the alleged incidents occurred between 2012 and 2016, during Tucker’s early years in the league.
The Ravens released Tucker on May 5 while the league was still investigating. The move ended his tenure as the most accurate kicker in NFL history and the last remaining member of Baltimore’s 2012 Super Bowl-winning roster.
Tucker has consistently denied the accusations, calling them “unequivocally false” and criticizing the Banner’s report as “desperate tabloid fodder.” His agent, Rob Roche, said in a statement that while they disagree with the NFL’s decision, Tucker will accept the suspension to move forward with his career.
Before his release, Tucker had three years left on a four-year, $22 million extension, which made him the league’s highest-paid kicker at the time. He is a seven-time Pro Bowler but struggled last season, missing 10 kicks and finishing with a career-low 73.3% field goal rate — ranking 31st in the league.
