Ravens senior special teams coach Randy Brown has traveled across the country in recent weeks scouting incoming kickers as Justin Tucker’s 2025 status remains in question. Sixteen massage therapists from Baltimore-area spas have accused Tucker of sexual misconduct. Tucker, 35, has denied the allegations as the league investigates. “Obviously, there are a lot of layers to that whole conversation, but it’s something we would have to do no matter what,” head coach John Harbaugh said. “At this point in time, you have to look. You always have to do your due diligence, so we will be prepared to do that on draft day if we feel like we need to and if the right guy is there.” The Ravens are the only team in the NFL to never take a kicker in the draft. That could change this year: The team is holding a private workout for Florida State’s Ryan Fitzgerald, who made all 13 of this field goal attempts last season and is widely expected to be the first kicker off the draft board.

It goes without saying that Justin Tucker’s tenure with the Ravens is likely trending toward an end as the Ravens and the league continue to investigate the sexual misconduct allegations that have followed the veteran kicker since the season’s end. Tucker converting on a career-low 73.3 percent of his field goal attempts last season likely isn’t helping his case, either. Whether or not the Ravens draft a kicker or add an undrafted rookie shortly after the draft concludes, it’s safe to say Tucker’s job is anything but safe heading into training camp.

The Ravens are holding firm with the plans they outlined roughly one month ago. Tucker is being investigated for sexual misconduct allegations made by 16 women. The team has reportedly received “periodic updates” from the league, but the investigation is evidently still ongoing. Per ESPN’s Jamison Hensley, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh and general manager Eric DeCosta acknowledged that the team “is looking at kickers in the draft.”

Sixteen women have come forward with sexual misconduct allegations against Tucker, as reported by the Baltimore Banner. Tucker has denied the allegations. “I think we’re fortunate that the league is doing an investigation. We’ll wait as patiently as we can for as much information as we can and we’ll make our decisions based on that,” DeCosta said Tuesday at the NFL Combine, adding that the allegations are “serious, concerning. The amount of allegations are serious and concerning.” Head coach John Harbaugh said back in 2022 that the Ravens take a “zero tolerance” policy toward sexual misconduct. Coming off the worst season of his NFL career, Tucker might not be back with Baltimore in 2025.
