Overview

  • Commissioner Roger Goodell reinstated the former Ravens kicker on Nov. 11, making him eligible to sign with any NFL team effective Week 11.
  • The league punished Tucker under the personal conduct policy following an investigation into accusations from up to 16 massage therapists in the Baltimore area dating to 2012–2016.
  • Tucker has denied wrongdoing, did not appeal the suspension, and has not been criminally charged or sued in civil court, according to the reports.
  • The Ravens released Tucker in May as a “football decision” after a career-worst 73.3% field-goal season in 2024, and he has since been training at the University of Texas with reported interest from several teams.
  • Potential suitors mentioned in coverage include the Packers and other kicker-needy clubs, while Baltimore appears set with rookie Tyler Loop, who is 16-for-18 on field goals.
