Justin Tucker will reportedly be suspended for the first 10 weeks of the NFL regular season for violating the league’s personal conduct policy. 

Tucker has been embroiled in a Sєxual misconduct scandal involving several mᴀssage therapists in the Baltimore area, leading to his release from the Baltimore Ravens last month. 

Tucker had been viewed as one of the NFL’s best kickers before his off-the-field trouble began. 

Now, his prospects of being signed have dwindled even further for the 35-year-old due to the hefty suspension, per the Washington Post.   

Earlier this year, the married football player was accused of Sєxual misconduct by 16 mᴀssage therapists from across eight spas and wellness centers in the Baltimore area. 

Tucker has denied any wrongdoing and previously branded the accusations ‘shocking and heart-breaking’. But on May 5, the Ravens made the ‘tough decision’ to release him.

Speaking for the first time since the release, head coach Harbaugh maintained Wednesday that the move was a ‘football decision’ last month. 

‘I mean, you’re talking about arguably the best kicker in the history of the game,’ Harbaugh said, via ESPN. ‘And like we said, it’s multi-layered [and] it’s complicated. But in the end, it all comes back to what you have to do to get ready for your team to play the first game.’

‘And I think if you step back and you take a look at all the issues and all the ramifications, you can understand that we’ve got to get our football team ready and we’ve got to have a kicker to go. And that was the move that we decided to make. So in that sense, it’s a football decision and now we have to spend all of our focus and our time to get these kickers ready.’

‘We’ve got a compeтιтion going on and [we’ve got to] get these guys ready to make kicks. So that’s all I’m thinking about. From my perspective, it’s like, “We have to have a kicker out there making kicks and what’s the best way to get that done?”‘ 

In a statement announcing Tucker’s release, Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta made no mention of the allegations, instead heaping praise on Tucker, a Super Bowl champion who had been with the Ravens since 2012. DeCosta’s comments came under intense scrutiny. 

Among the allegations leveled against Tucker are that he repeatedly – and deliberately – exposed his erect genitals.

Two therapists claim he brushed them with his penis. More than once, meanwhile, the kicker is accused of leaving what appeared to be ejaculate on the mᴀssage table. Back in February, it was reported that NFL investigators visited Baltimore to interview therapists who had made the bombshell claims about the Ravens kicker. 

Around the same time, DeCosta called the allegations ‘serious and concerning’ and refused to rule out terminating Tucker’s contract.

Tucker, 35, recently finished his 13th season in the NFL, all with the Ravens. His 66-yard field goal in 2021 remains the longest successful kick in league history.

In 2022, he agreed to a four-year contract extension through the 2027 season. That deal included $17.5million guaranteed. But in 2024, Tucker endured the worst season of his career and in this month’s draft, Baltimore added kicker Tyler Loop to their roster.

That decision sparked renewed speculation surrounding the future of Tucker, who insisted back in February: ‘I maintain I did not act inappropriately at any point before, during, or after a professional bodywork treatment session, nor have I ever been told I am unwelcome at any mᴀssage therapy provider. These claims are simply not true.’

The alleged incidents are all said to have occurred between 2012 – Tucker’s rookie season in Baltimore – and 2016. 

Tucker’s wife Amanda Bᴀss said she ‘fully supports’ her husband and believes he has been ‘falsely’ accused.

The 35-year-old met Bᴀss at the University of Texas before they married in 2015. They have one child together and she told Outkick: ‘The false allegations against Justin have caused so much hurt to our family. I believe my husband, and I love and support him fully.’
