The tryout was the veteran kicker’s second opportunity this season following his suspension for the first 10 weeks of the 2025 NFL season for violations of the league’s personal conduct policy. Tucker was made eligible for reinstatement Nov. 11.

Earlier this year, the Baltimore Banner reported that 16 Baltimore-area massage therapists at eight different spas had accused the 36-year-old of sexual misconduct in incidents that reportedly took place during 2012-16.
The seven-time NFL Pro Bowl selection and five-time First-Team All-Pro has repeatedly denied the allegations and called them “unequivocally false” in a social media post in the spring.
The Colts signed Blake Grupe to their practice squad Tuesday to replace waived placekicker Michael Badgley after a tryout that also included Tucker and 2025 undrafted free agent Maddux Trujillo.
Tucker was coming off the worst season of his 13-year NFL career in 2024, making just 73.3% of his field goals (22-for-30), ranking him 26th among the 29 NFL kickers with at least 10 starts last year. Among those who started all 17 games, Tucker ranked last (19th). All eight of Tucker’s misses came from at least 40 yards.
