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 NFL announced Thursday.
According to the Baltimore Banner, the 35-year-old Tucker was accused by multiple women of serious and disturbing sexual misconduct at spas in the Baltimore area, which Tucker has vehemently denied.
Tucker’s suspension will take effect on roster cutdown day, August 26, and he will be eligible for reinstatement on Tuesday, November 11.
As with any free agent, Tucker may serve his suspension while not being under contract with a club. Tucker remains free to try out and sign with a club; if he is signed during the offseason, he may attend training camp and participate in preseason games.
“We are disappointed with the NFL’s decision,” Tucker’s agent Rob Roche said in a statement. “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
In May, after 13 seasons with the team, the Ravens released Tucker. Last season, he had his worst season in the NFL, as Tucker only converted 73% of his field goals.
Given this suspension and his underwhelming performance last season, it’s a stark reality that Tucker may have indeed played his final game in the NFL.
