Justin Tucker, an NFL free agent kicker, was recently suspended for 10 weeks following a league investigation into charges of misbehavior.
The 35-year-old, who was dismissed by the Baltimore Ravens in May, was charged by 16 massage therapists of unethical behavior during sessions from 2012 to 2016.
The league investigated the situation and announced the lengthy suspension on Thursday.

“Free agent Justin Tucker is suspended without pay for the first 10 weeks of the 2025 regular season for violations of the NFL’s Personal Conduct Policy,” the league announced.
“Tucker’s suspension will take effect on roster cutdown day, August 26, and he will be eligible for reinstatement on Tuesday, November 11.”
The league went on to explain that he can serve his suspension even if he is not under contract with a team… and that the sentence will have no bearing on his search for a new professional home — and that if he does end up somewhere, he will be able to participate in training camp and preseason games.

Tucker has categorically denied any misconduct, issuing repeated remarks on the subject. Amanda, his wife, also come out, stating she believes him and supports him “fully.”
In comparison, the Cleveland Browns quarterback was suspended 11 games and fined $5 million following the sexual misconduct controversy.
Tucker is coming off his worst season as a kicker, converting just 73% of his field goal tries.
