Earlier this month, the Baltimore Ravens released Justin Tucker while 16 massage therapists of eight different centers of Baltimore Spa and Wellness accused him of inappropriate behavior due to alleged incidents between 2012 and 2016.
The team, however, described the list as “football decision” after the 35-year-old, who is a quinier to five times All-Pro and seven times, had his worst year in the NFL in 2024 with a percentage of 73.3% on the field.
Tucker made 22 of his 30 goals attempts on the ground, missing 3 out of 8 from 40 to 49 yards and 6 out of 11 to 50 meters and beyond. He also missed two of his 62 additional points attempts.

He still has the percentage of goals on the career field of all time at 89.1%, and head coach John Harbaugh said that the scenario was “complicated”.
“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 to the media on Wednesday, via ESPN.” 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? “”
The Baltimore banner first pointed out the allegations, the victims claiming that Tucker exhibited several times during a four -year period, including his recruited campaign when the Ravens won the Super bowl.

Tucker denied all the allegations, calling them “unequivocal” in a statement published on social networks.
“Throughout my career as a professional athlete, I have always tried to drive with the greatest professionalism. I have never been accused before a fault of any kind, and I have never been accused of having acted inappropriately in front of a massage therapist or during a massage session or during other bodywork work,” said Tucker’s declaration.

“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.”
Six massage therapists were released first, followed by seven other women and a possible total of 16. The accusations of all women are similar.
