The Kansas City Chiefs have signed five-time All-Pro kicker Justin Tucker, 37, to their practice squad after he went unsigned since a 2024 10-game suspension for violating the personal conduct policy.
Tucker was accused of sexual misconduct by 16 massage therapists from eight high‑end spas in Baltimore, incidents said to have occurred between 2012 and 2016 during his early Ravens years; he denies wrongdoing, calling the report “unequivocally false.”
The Ravens released Tucker in May 2025, ending his 13‑year tenure that included seven Pro Bowl selections and a Super Bowl win in his rookie season; with three years left on a $22 million contract that made him the NFL’s highest‑paid kicker, he now serves as insurance for Harrison Butker, who has missed five of 16 field‑goal attempts this season, including two in the loss to Seattle. The Chiefs also tried Harrison Mevis and Ben Sauls, but Butker remains the only active kicker on the 53‑man roster.
His 2024 season was his worst, with 10 missed kicks and a 73.3% field‑goal conversion rate (22‑of‑30), ranking 31st in the league, and he had been the longest‑tenured Raven until his release.
