Ravens Release Kicker After Misconduct Allegations
Tap title to read story
The Baltimore Ravens released kicker Justin Tucker, citing football reasons. This comes three months after a report detailed allegations of inappropriate behavior by Tucker during massage sessions. While the Ravens' statement lauded Tucker's contributions, it omitted the ongoing NFL investigation into the accusations. The team's decision is viewed as a PR move to avoid addressing the accusations directly, particularly given their previous statements about a zero-tolerance policy. The Ravens drafted a kicker, suggesting Tucker's replacement was sought regardless of the investigation's outcome. This action follows a pattern of inconsistent handling of player misconduct by the Ravens.
