Overview

  • The NFL found that Tucker violated its Personal Conduct Policy and handed down a 10-game suspension without pay.
  • The suspension begins on Aug. 26, the roster cutdown day for the 2025 season, and bars him from regular-season play until he is eligible for reinstatement on Nov. 11.
  • As a free agent, Tucker may sign with any team in the offseason, attend training camp and play in preseason games before the ban takes effect.
  • He has five business days to appeal the suspension, though CBA rules limit his appeal to contesting only its length.
  • The Ravens released him on May 5 after 13 seasons following allegations by 16 massage therapists of sexual misconduct from 2012 to 2016, which he denies as 'unequivocally false.'
