Overview

• The Ravens released Justin Tucker on May 5, labeling it a “football decision” after he posted a career-worst 73.3% field goal rate last season.
• Coach John Harbaugh said the choice resulted from a multilayered process involving owner Steve Bisciotti, president Sashi Brown, executive vice president Ozzie Newsome and GM Eric DeCosta.
• The NFL continues investigating allegations from 16 massage therapists accusing Tucker of inappropriate sexual behavior, claims he has denied as unequivocally false.
• Baltimore shifted focus to a kicking battle between rookie sixth-round pick Tyler Loop and undrafted free agent John Hoyland during OTAs.
• By calling the move a football decision, the Ravens preserved the league’s right to impose discipline if the investigation substantiates misconduct.
