The National Football League (NFL) has suspended former Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker for the first 10 games of the 2025 season without pay, following an investigation into sexual misconduct allegations made by 16 women.

Tucker, 35, has denied the allegations, which include claims of unwanted advances and inappropriate behavior during massages at Baltimore-area spas between 2012 and 2016. The NFL's investigation, which began in February, found Tucker to be in violation of the league's personal conduct policy.

Despite the suspension, Tucker is allowed to sign with a new team and participate in training camp and preseason games. He will be eligible for reinstatement on November 11.

Tucker's agent, Rob Roche, expressed disappointment with the NFL's decision, stating that Tucker "has always strived to carry himself in a way that would make his family and community proud." Roche added that Tucker will accept the resolution and focus on getting back on the field as soon as possible.

The suspension marks a significant blow to Tucker's career, which has seen him become the most accurate kicker in NFL history with an 89.1 field goal percentage. He has played 13 seasons with the Ravens, earning seven Pro Bowl selections and five All-Pro honors.
