The Baltimore Ravens have released veteran kicker Justin Tucker after 13 seasons with the team. Tucker, who joined the Ravens as an undrafted free agent in 2012, faced allegations of sexual misconduct from 16 massage therapists, prompting an ongoing NFL investigation. Despite his release being described as a 'football decision' by Ravens General Manager Eric DeCosta, the timing suggests the allegations played a role in the decision. Tucker has denied the allegations, which stem from incidents between 2012 and 2016.

Tucker's release comes months after the allegations surfaced, with the NFL still investigating the claims. The Ravens drafted Arizona kicker Tyler Loop in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, indicating a move to replace Tucker. Tucker, who won Super Bowl XLVII with the Ravens, had a career-worst season in 2024, missing eight field goals and two extra-point attempts. The Ravens officially terminated Tucker's contract with a post-June 1 designation.
