The representative of Tucker, Rob Roche, published a statement on the recent NFL decision to suspend Tucker in a statement in ESPN.
“We are disappointed with the NFL decision. Justin has always endeavored to be carried in a way that would make his family and his community proud. He keeps his previous statements,” the statement said.
“In order to put this difficult episode behind him and come back to the field as soon as possible, we advised Justin to accept this resolution and close this case. The people who know the most Justin know his character best and understand that even if he remains fully committed to excellence as a football player, he is deeply dedicated to his most important roles as a father, husband and friend.”

The Ravens released Tucker in early May, calling for his release of “football decision”.
The 35-year-old man, who is a quintuple All-Pro and seven times pro from Bowler, had his worst year in the NFL in 2024 after having had a percentage of goals in the field of 73.3%. However, he has the percentage of goals on the career field of all time at 89.1% with this brand.
The Baltimore banner pointed out the allegations for the first time in January, the accusers saying that Tucker had exhibited several times during a four -year period, including his campaign recruit when the Ravens won the Super bowl. According to the report, the accusers said they had ended the sessions early or refused to work with Tucker again because of the allegations. The report also indicated that Tucker had been forbidden to return to two of these spas, an assertion of the Tucker’s legal team denied.
Among the allegations accumulated in the report, five women said that the NFL player was drawn up during the sessions with him and that he exposed himself, while others have made other accusations of flagrant acts.
Then on February 16, the same point of sale reported that seven other women had presented allegations of sexual misconduct against Tucker. The second wave of allegations accused Tucker of “acting inappropriately” in some of the best luxury spas in Baltimore, including spas of the Four Seasons and Ritz-Carlton residences in the city.

“Throughout my career as a professional athlete, I have always tried to drive with the greatest professionalism. I have never been accused previously for lack of any kind, and I have never been accused of having acted in an inappropriate manner in front of a massage therapist or during a massage session or during other bodywork work,” said Tucker’s declaration of response.
“I have never received complaints from a massage therapist, I have never been dismissed from a massage therapy or bodywork session and I was never informed that I was not welcome in any spa or other business location.”
The Ravens head coach John Harbaugh addressed the situation at a press conference at the end of May after the team’s second team’s second practice.
“I mean, you are probably talking about the best kicker in the story of the game. And as we have said, it’s multilayer [and] It’s complicated, “said Harbaugh.” But in the end, everything comes back to what you have to do to prepare for your team to play the first match. And I think that if you get back and take a look at all the problems and all the ramifications, you can understand that we have to prepare our football team, and we must have a botter. And this is the movement we decided to make.
“So, in this sense, it is a football decision, and now we have to spend all our goal and our time to prepare these kickers. We have a current competition and [we’ve got to] Prepare these guys to kick. So that’s all I think about. From my point of view, it is like: “we must have a kicker to kicks”, and what is the best way to do this? “”
