Former Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker has been suspended for the first 10 weeks of the 2025 NFL regular season following a violation of the league’s personal conduct policy. The NFL announced the suspension after an investigation into Tucker’s actions, which led to the decision. Tucker, known for his consistent performance and clutch kicks, will miss the initial portion of the season, which could affect the Ravens’ chances in key early games.
League officials stated that the suspension was based on a thorough review of the evidence, but they did not disclose the specific details of Tucker’s misconduct. The NFL has strict rules regarding personal conduct, and violations can result in penalties ranging from fines to suspensions. Tucker’s suspension highlights the league’s zero-tolerance policy on off-field behavior that could disrupt team dynamics or fan engagement.
The Ravens’ coaching staff expressed disappointment with the decision, as Tucker is a vital part of their special teams unit. His absence during the early season could create challenges for the team, particularly in games where field goals are crucial. However, the team remains focused on the upcoming season and is working to support Tucker during this period of suspension.
