Ravens release Justin Tucker amid sexual misconduct allegations

On Monday, the Baltimore Ravens parted ways with their veteran kicker Justin Tucker amid claims of inappropriate sexual conduct from several massage therapists.
The allegations, reported by the Baltimore Banner, date from 2012 to 2016 and involve at least 16 therapists who accused Tucker of exposing himself or inappropriate touching.
Tucker, a Texas product signed as an undrafted free agent in 2012, has made seven Pro Bowls and signed a four-year extension in 2022 before the release decision.
Ravens GM Eric DeCosta described the release as an "incredibly difficult football decision" made considering roster status, salary cap, and Tucker's notable contributions to the franchise.
The NFL stated it is reviewing the allegations seriously under its Personal Conduct Policy, and Baltimore drafted kicker Tyler Loop in 2025 as Tucker's replacement.
