Ravens Release Tucker Amid Misconduct Probe

The Baltimore Ravens have released star kicker Justin Tucker, officially citing 'football decisions' but making the move amid ongoing NFL and media investigations into sexual misconduct allegations from 16 Baltimore-area massage therapists. Tucker, one of the most accurate kickers in NFL history, experienced a performance decline last season and was replaced by rookie Tyler Loop, whom the Ravens drafted in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. While Ravens leadership emphasized roster management and performance, many observers believe the off-field allegations significantly influenced Tucker's release. Tucker has denied all accusations, labeling them as false and criticizing the media coverage. His future in the league remains uncertain as the investigations continue. The release ends Tucker's 13-year tenure, which included a Super Bowl win and several NFL records.
