NFL Rumors: Justin Tucker Attempting NFL Comeback; Several Teams Interested

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker reacts after 2024 game.

Former Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker is preparing for a possible NFL comeback after serving a 10-game suspension for violating the league’s personal conduct policy. 

According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the seven-time Pro Bowler has been working out at his alma mater, the University of Texas, where he recently recreated several of his most memorable game-winning kicks from his 13-year career. 

Tucker, 35, is eligible for reinstatement on November 11, just two days before Week 11 begins, and has reportedly drawn interest from multiple teams looking for a veteran kicker.

Tucker’s suspension stemmed from sexual misconduct allegations made by 16 massage therapists for incidents that allegedly occurred between 2012 and 2016. 

The Ravens released Tucker in May following the league’s investigation. Despite maintaining his innocence in a public statement, Tucker accepted the suspension to move forward with his career. His agent, Rob Roche, confirmed the decision was made “to put an end to the matter and focus on football.” 

Tucker remains one of the most accomplished kickers in NFL history, holding an 89.1% career field goal percentage and the record for the longest field goal ever made (66 yards).

Before his release, Tucker had endured one of the most inconsistent stretches of his career, hitting a career-low 73.3% of his field goal attempts in 2024. Still, he finished the season strong, connecting on his final 28 kicks, including two clutch field goals in Baltimore’s playoff loss to Buffalo.
