Ravens Evaluate Kickers Amid Justin Tucker Misconduct Allegations

Amid serious sexual misconduct allegations against veteran kicker Justin Tucker, the Baltimore Ravens are actively scouting for new kickers as part of their offseason evaluations. Head coach John Harbaugh reiterated that every position is assessed annually, but acknowledged the kicker role has become especially pertinent given Tucker's recent performance issues and the allegations from 16 massage therapists. With the NFL investigating the allegations, both Harbaugh and general manager Eric DeCosta expressed disappointment over the situation, emphasizing the importance of creating a healthy workplace environment. While Tucker remains on the roster for now, the Ravens are exploring rookie options to ensure they are prepared for the future. Harbaugh maintains support for Tucker but acknowledges that roster planning is essential as no player lasts forever. The team is balancing their loyalty to Tucker with the need to address the ongoing investigation and its implications on the team's dynamics.
