The NFL is investigating allegations of inappropriate conduct by Ravens kicker Justin Tucker during massage-therapy sessions, with three women accusing him of misconduct. Despite the investigation, the team has remained silent on the matter.
Contrary to the Ravens’ handling of Ray Rice’s 2014 scandal, which led to their swift termination of his contract after the NFL suspended him indefinitely, the team is choosing not to comment on Tucker’s allegations. The Ravens issued a statement when the initial complaints emerged but have since said nothing more as the number of accusers has grown to 16.
The situation highlights the difference between the criminal court system and the NFL’s personal conduct policy. While Tucker hasn’t been criminally charged or sued, the league is taking action, which may prompt the Ravens to reconsider their stance. The team’s decision to wait and observe the outcome of the investigation could be a strategic move or simply a sign that they’re waiting for the new league year to begin before making any decisions about Tucker’s future.
