OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — The Baltimore Ravens announced Monday they are releasing kicker Justin Tucker, months after the NFL said it would look into reporting by the Baltimore Banner that more than a dozen massage therapists had accused him of inappropriate sexual behavior — and shortly after the team drafted another kicker.
Tucker has maintained he did not act inappropriately while receiving professional treatment.
“Sometimes football decisions are incredibly difficult, and this is one of those instances,” Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta said in a statement issued by the club. “Considering our current roster, we have made the tough decision to release Justin Tucker.”
