Overview

  • The NFL suspended former Ravens kicker Justin Tucker for 10 weeks without pay under its personal conduct policy.
  • The ban begins Aug. 26, NFL roster cutdown day, and keeps Tucker sidelined through Nov. 11, when he may seek reinstatement.
  • Sixteen massage therapists accused Tucker of inappropriate sexual conduct during sessions from 2012 to 2016, prompting the league’s investigation.
  • Tucker has repeatedly denied the allegations as “unequivocally false” and followed his agent’s advice to accept the suspension.
  • Now a free agent after 13 seasons in Baltimore, Tucker remains eligible to sign, attend training camp and play preseason games before serving his suspension.
