ExtremeRavens Posted 19 hours ago Posted 19 hours ago Former Ravens kicker Justin Tucker is working out for the New Orleans Saints on Monday, according to multiple reports. The embattled ex-Baltimore star’s 10-game suspension by the NFL over sexual misconduct allegations concluded earlier this month, clearing the way for the 35-year-old to return to the league. The workout with the Saints is his first since being reinstated. Tucker is reportedly one of two kickers New Orleans is trying out, along with veteran Cade York. The Saints’ current kicker is Blake Grupe, who has struggled mightily this season. The third-year kicker has made just 18 of 26 field goal attempts, which included 1 of 3 in a 24-10 loss on Sunday to the Atlanta Falcons. Tucker, meanwhile, is one of the most accurate kickers in NFL history, ranking fourth all-time with a field goal accuracy rate of 89.1%. He’s also coming off the worst season of his career, making just 73.3% of his field goal attempts and missing two extra points. The Ravens released Tucker in May, calling it a “football decision,” and general manager Eric DeCosta made no mention of the allegations in a statement at the time. In January, The Baltimore Banner first reported that six massage therapists said Tucker exposed his genitals, brushed two of them with his exposed penis and left what was believed to be ejaculate on the massage table following three treatments. More than a dozen massage therapists made similar accusations, all having allegedly taken place between 2012 and 2016, and about five months later, he was suspended by the NFL.
