Justin Tucker suspended for first 10 games of the 2025 season
The Ravens cut Tucker on May 5, designating him as a post-June 1 release for cap reasons.
Sixteen massage therapists from eight high-end Baltimore-area spas have accused Tucker of sexual misconduct. All of the alleged misconduct reportedly occurred between 2012-16.
Tucker has denied all allegations, and he has described the Baltimore Banner's reporting as 'desperate tabloid fodder.'
With the length of Tucker's suspension now known, Tucker could seek to find work late this season when he's reinstated.
Tucker, though, is coming off the worst season of his 13-year career. He missed 10 total kicks in 2024, with his 73.3 conversion rate on field goals ranking 31st in the NFL.
Tucker, 35, was on a Hall of Fame trajectory with seven Pro Bowls and a 90.2 conversion rate on his field goal attempts in his first 12 seasons. He holds the NFL record for the longest field goal, kicking a 66-yard game-winner in 2021.
Tucker signed a four-year, $22 million contract extension in August 2022, making him the league's highest-paid kicker at the time.

Westburg makes an immediate impact with 3 hits, including HR, in return to Orioles lineup
Associated Press ATLANTA (AP) — Jordan Westburg didn't have to be fully recovered from a finger injury to move back into Baltimore's lineup and make an immediate impact. Westburg had three hits, including a homer, in the Orioles' 3-2 win over the Atlanta Braves on Friday night. The Orioles received another boost as Tyler O'Neill came off the injured list with a single and a walk. 'I think they gave us two of the three runs,' said Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino, referring to O'Neill scoring on Cedric Mullins' two-run homer off Spencer Strider. 'Those are two really good players,' Mansolino said. 'We're still short. We're still missing Adley (Rutschman) but a lot of credit to the guys. They went out there and put up three runs against probably one of the great pitchers in the game.' Rutschman, Baltimore's primary catcher, has been out since June 20 with an oblique strain. Westburg has tried to play through his sprained left index finger. He left a game at the New York Yankees on June 21 before returning four days later against Texas and then having to leave a game after aggravating the injury on Friday. 'Is he 100%? Probably not,' Mansolino said before the game. 'But I think he's probably close.' Close was good enough. When asked how he feels after his three-hit game, Westburg said 'pretty good.' 'I'm willing to play through whatever I have,' Westburg said. 'It just was at a point where I wasn't able to swing a bat. As soon as I'm able and can I want to be on the field as much as they'll let me.' O'Neill was the Orioles' designated hitter in his return from a left shoulder impingement. He was placed on the injured list for the second time this year on May 16 after missing time earlier in the season with neck inflammation. The contributions from Westburg and O'Neill, who combined to reach base five times, helped support Charlie Morton, who allowed six hits and two runs in 5 1/3 innings in his return to Atlanta, where he pitched the last four seasons. Morton also began his career with the Braves. Morton (5-7) improved to 5-0 in 10 appearances, including seven starts, since May 10. 'I spent basically half my career here,' Morton said. 'Being drafted here, I spent seven years in the system, went to the big leagues, made my debut, got to play for Bobby Cox, got to play with some of the pillars of this organization and ... come back and win a World Series here. Yeah, it's a special place for me.' ___ AP MLB: recommended

Steelers' Terry Bradshaw Cracks Top 15 Best NFL Quarterbacks Ever
Steelers' Terry Bradshaw Cracks Top 15 Best NFL Quarterbacks Ever originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Before Terry Bradshaw (along with a few others) joined the Pittsburgh Steelers in the early 1970s, the franchise was a forgotten one, with zero success in the league during its history. Advertisement That all changed beginning in 1970 when Bradshaw was selected No. 1 overall by the Steelers. Bradshaw went on an incredible run to help put the Steelers on the map. That was continued in the 2000s by Ben Roethlisberger. Now, both appear on CBS Sports' list of the best quarterbacks in NFL history. 18. Ben Roethlisberger "'Big Ben' started his career by going 13-0 as Pittsburgh's starter during his rookie season, the best mark ever by a rookie quarterback. Roethlisberger followed that up a year later by becoming the youngest quarterback to win the Super Bowl as the Steelers became the first six-seed to win it all. Three years later, Roethlisberger capped off one of the greatest Super Bowls of all time by completing one of the most clutch passes in NFL history when he hit Santonio Holmes for the game-winning score. Advertisement "Roethlisberger was named to six Pro Bowls and is fifth all-time in career passing yards and eighth in career touchdown passes. He's the only player in history with three games with at least 500 passing yards. He had back-to-back games with six touchdown passes back in 2014." While Roethlisberger cracks the top 20, Bradshaw is just a bit higher and breaks into the top 15 at No. 13. 13. Terry Bradshaw "Believe it or not, Bradshaw is the only Steelers player who has won league MVP, doing so in 1978. Bradshaw also won the first of two consecutive Super Bowl MVP awards that season while becoming the first (and only) QB to win back-to-back Super Bowls twice. In Super Bowl XIII (played at the end of the '78 season), Bradshaw threw for then-Super Bowl records 318 yards and four touchdowns in Pittsburgh's 35-31 win over the Cowboys in the first Super Bowl played between two franchises that had already won multiple Super Bowls. Advertisement "In four Super Bowls, Bradshaw threw nine touchdowns against just four interceptions. He threw the game-winning score three times."

Patrick Mahomes Shares Heartfelt Message From Mom Randi Mahomes on Friday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Kansas City Chiefs' training facility may have been closed for the holiday, but Randi Mahomes, mother of NFL quarterback Patrick Mahomes, was busy documenting a calm family scene back home on Friday.

Patrick and wife Brittany have three children: Sterling Skye (4), Patrick "Bronze" III (2) and Golden Raye (6 months). Within hours, Patrick reposted it, with nothing more than a single, "❤️." Patrick Mahomes, InstagramPatrick Mahomes, Instagram After starring in three sports at Whitehouse High School and posting staggering numbers at Texas Tech (5,052 passing yards and 41 touchdowns in his junior year), Mahomes was selected 10th overall in the 2017 NFL Draft. Advertisement Under coach Andy Reid, he has since become a three-time Super Bowl champion, three-time Super Bowl MVP, two-time NFL MVP, three-time All-Pro and six-time Pro Bowler. Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (15).Denny Medley-Imagn Images Mahomes also already holds numerous NFL records, including fastest to 30,000 career passing yards (103 games) and most total yards by a quarterback in a season (5,614 in 2022). Despite coming short of a historic three-peat last season, the Chiefs remain among the elite franchises in the NFL, with high hopes of competing for another Lombardi Trophy next season. Yet, with training camp still weeks away, this story momentarily shifts focus from trade winds, draft grades and preseason projections to simple family joy.
