Justin Tucker Eligible to Sign After Suspension

Justin Tucker, the former Ravens kicker, is in the clear to return to the field, provided he signs with a new team. After serving a 10-game suspension for breaking the NFL’s personal conduct guidelines, he’s now eligible to play again.

At 35, Tucker is currently a free agent, having been released by Baltimore in May amid various sexual misconduct allegations.

Back in October, the NFL Network mentioned that multiple teams were showing interest in him.

Earlier this year, Tucker faced serious scrutiny after 16 massage therapists from the Baltimore area accused him of sexual misconduct and inappropriate behavior between 2012 and 2016. Reports indicate that the allegations first came to light through The Baltimore Banner.

Initially, six massage therapists brought accusations against him, but later, ten more individuals added their voices to the claims. In February, the NFL announced it was investigating the matter, which led to Tucker’s suspension in June. Both Tucker and his wife, Amanda, have denied the accusations.

In a statement to Outkick, Tucker expressed his shock and sadness over the allegations, stating, “I maintain that I did not behave inappropriately at any time before, during, or after my professional chiropractic treatment session.” He emphasized that he never received any indication that he was unwelcome at any massage therapy provider.

Beyond the allegations, Tucker has an impressive career. He’s a seven-time Pro Bowler, five-time All-Pro, and ranks fourth in all-time field goal percentage at 89.1 percent, as well as 14th in total field goals made with 417.
