NFL Investigating Allegations Against Justin Tucker for Inappropriate Behavior with Massage Therapists
Ravens terminate Justin Tucker's contract due to accusations of sexually inappropriate conduct
The National Football League (NFL) is probing accusations against Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker for alleged inappropriate sexual behavior with six massage therapists.
Tucker has consistently maintained his innocence, stating that he never acted inappropriately during professional treatments. However, the wave of allegations has left his future with the Ravens uncertain.
On May 5, 2025, the Ravens made the tough decision to part ways with Tucker, terming the release as a pure "football decision." This decision came shortly after media reports surrounding the accusations against Tucker surfaced[1][2][4][5].
The NFL's investigation into the matter is ongoing, with no updates or conclusions disclosed yet[2][3][4]. The team drafted kicker Tyler Loop last month, hinting at a possible shift for the Ravens in the kicking department. Coach John Harbaugh suggested that a decision regarding Tucker would be made before the NFL completed its inquiry[2].
Tucker is a five-time All-Pro and one of the best kickers in NFL history, boasting a success rate of 89.1% on field goals. Despite his stellar career, last season proved challenging as he missed a career-high eight field goal attempts[1].
The Banner's report in January detailed the allegations against Tucker, leaving his professional future in limbo[2]. The Ravens, in a team statement issued by Eric DeCosta, acknowledged Tucker's contributions to the team and wished him well in his future endeavors[2].
