John Harbaugh talks about 'complex,' 'complicated' decision to cut Justin Tucker amid sexual misconduct allegations
Our Summary
The Baltimore Ravens released five-time All-Pro kicker Justin Tucker amid allegations of sexual misconduct by 16 women during massage therapy sessions. Head coach John Harbaugh and general manager Eric DeCosta described the decision as a "football decision," noting the complexity surrounding the situation. Tucker, regarded as one of the greatest kickers in NFL history, denied the allegations and faces no criminal charges. His performance had declined, with a career-low 73.3% field-goal completion rate last season. The Ravens have drafted and signed new kickers, Tyler Loop and John Hoyland, to potentially replace Tucker.
