June 27 (UPI) -- Former Baltimore Ravens free agent kicker Justin Tucker has been suspended by the NFL for the first 10 weeks of the 2025 season for violating its personal conduct policy, the league announced Thursday.

The suspension comes after sexual misconduct allegations were made by 16 Baltimore area massage therapists from eight high-end spas. The alleged incidents occurred between 2012 and 2016, the league said.

"We are disappointed with the NFL's decision," Tucker's agent, Rob Roche, said in a statement Thursday.

"Justin has always strived to carry himself in a way that would make his family and community proud. He stands by his previous statements. In order to put this difficult episode behind him and get back on the field as soon as possible, we have advised Justin to accept this resolution and close this matter."
