Overview

  • The league announced Thursday that Tucker, 35, will begin serving his suspension on August 26 after violating its personal conduct policy
  • More than a dozen massage therapists alleged incidents of exposure or bodily fluids during sessions between 2012 and 2016, allegations Tucker has denied
  • Baltimore released Tucker in May as the NFL investigation, launched in January, intensified and he remains a free agent until he signs with another team
  • Under the collective bargaining agreement, Tucker’s only appeal option is to seek a reduction in the length of his ban and not to challenge the factual findings
  • The Ravens have moved forward by drafting kicker Tyler Loop in April and signing rookie John Hoyland to compete for the position
