Overview

  • The NFL announced a 10-game ban for Tucker after finding he breached its personal conduct policy amid allegations from 16 massage therapists dating to 2012–2016.
  • The suspension begins on roster cutdown day and allows Tucker to sign with a team and participate in training camp and preseason before the ban takes effect.
  • As a free agent, Tucker retains the right to appeal the duration of the suspension under the collective bargaining agreement.
  • Tucker was released by the Baltimore Ravens on May 5 after 13 seasons, a move the team described as a football decision.
  • He remains eligible for reinstatement on Nov. 11, at which point any team that has signed him could activate him for regular-season play.
