Justin Tucker, one of the most accurate kickers in\u00a0NFL<\/a>\u00a0history, will be sidelined for the first 10 weeks of the 2025 regular season.<\/p>\n

The league handed down the suspension after an investigation into allegations of inappropriate behavior during massage therapy sessions. ESPN\u2019s\u00a0Adam Schefter\u00a0first reported the news on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Tucker, 35, remains a free agent following his release by the Ravens last month. Although the team insisted the decision was based solely on football factors, the timing raised eyebrows as the NFL\u2019s probe was still ongoing.<\/p>\n

Tucker has denied all accusations, which stem from claims by 16 women in reports published by the\u00a0Baltimore Banner<\/em>, alleging misconduct between 2012 and 2016.<\/p>\n

The NFL determined that Tucker violated its personal conduct policy. His 10-week ban will begin on August 26, coinciding with roster cutdown day, and end on November 11. While Tucker has not been criminally charged or named in any civil lawsuits, the league, his representatives, and the NFLPA reached a disciplinary resolution after weeks of discussion.<\/p>\n
