The Kansas City Chiefs are signing former Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker to their practice squad, according to Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star. Tucker hasn’t kicked in the NFL since 2024 after violating the NFL’s personal-conduct policy following allegations of sexual misconduct.

Tucker is a backup plan in case Harrison Butker continues to struggle. Butker has missed 15 total kicks since the start of the 2025 season.

The Chiefs worked out several kickers Tuesday and Tucker went 30-for-30, according to NFL insider Tom Pelissero.

Tucker, a seven-time Pro Bowler with Baltimore, was released by the Ravens in May 2025 amid a series of sexual misconduct allegations. He was suspended for the first 10 weeks of the 2025 season by the league. Tucker did not sign with another club after his release, but he had to serve his suspension whether he was under contract to a club or not.

Since Tucker served a 10-week suspension last season, he would be eligible to kick Sunday if the Chiefs need him.

Tucker’s suspension followed an NFL investigation into sexually inappropriate behavior. A total of 16 therapists from eight different spas have made allegations of inappropriate behavior by Tucker. All of the incidents reportedly occurred during sessions from 2012 to 2016. Tucker vehemently denied the allegations.

The Ravens drafted Arizona kicker Tyler Loop in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. The organization claimed the release of Tucker was purely a football decision.

After receiving a tip on Jan. 9, The Baltimore Banner began investigating and spoke to six massage therapists who recounted troubling firsthand experiences with Tucker from 2012 to 2016. The women said they had long wanted to tell their stories.

“I’ve told people about this over the years, and they either act like it’s hot goss[ip] or a joke,” said one therapist who worked on Tucker in 2016. “But it was really degrading.”

A tweet about Tucker from 2021 has gone viral. @MCsburner on X wrote, “Justin Tucker is canceled but it’s not my place to provide the reason. Let’s just say he’s been told by many massage places to never come back.”

Two spas say they banned Tucker. He denies the bans and the behavior that women say has left them emotionally scarred.

Attorneys for Tucker denied the allegations of inappropriate behavior, calling them speculative and “impossible to prove.”

Tucker, who is one of the best kickers in NFL history, is considered a Ravens legend and was an icon in the Baltimore sports landscape before his fall from grace in 2025.
