Former Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker has finally got word about how the NFL views the egregious sexual misconduct allegations leveed against his name.
The result for Tucker is not a good one, either. Sources have indicated to ESPN's Adam Schefter that Tucker will serve a 10 week suspension for his violations of the NFL's personal conduct policy, a troublesome turn that only further implicates Tucker of wrongdoing amid several waves of sexual misconduct allegations from the past that arose this offseason.
Tucker was cut by the Ravens this offseason in a move that was framed by the team as a football decision, likely to protect themselves from legal recourse in the event that Tucker clears his name. Tucker hired legal representation back in March amid the growing list of names alleging inappropriate behavior.
Tucker's representation released the following statement amid the news of the league's ruling of a 10 week suspension.
"We are disappointed with the NFL’s decision. Justin has always strived to carry himself in a way that would make his family and community proud. He stands by his previous statements. In order to put this difficult episode behind him and get back on the field as soon as possible, we have advised Justin to accept this resolution and close this matter. The people who know Justin best know his character and understand that while he remains fully committed to excellence as a football player, he is deeply dedicated to his most important lifetime roles as a father, husband, and friend.”

Tucker's career in Baltimore is officially over and his overall kicking career appears to be on the brink. For the Ravens, the team expedited the process by drafting Tyler Loop on the third day of the 2025 NFL Draft to secure a successor. Unless Tucker finds a team willing to sign him, the suspension is a moot point but a necessary one for the league to impose amid the evidence they've presumably reviewed to come to this conclusion.
Tucker has a mountain of progress to make before signing him even becomes a point of conversation for teams; meaning we may have seen the last of him on an NFL field, suspension or not.
