The Baltimore Ravens have released kicker Justin Tucker, the team announced Monday. The Ravens made the decision amid allegations from 16 women that Tucker engaged in sexual misconduct during massage therapy sessions.

The Ravens released kicker Justin Tucker Monday afternoon. The Texas football product is facing sexual assault allegations, which he has called false.

The fact that it was couched by G.M. Eric DeCosta as a “football decision” is no surprise. Players are released for football reasons all the time. There’s no mechanism in the Collective Bargaining Agreement for challenging the constant churn of football decisions.
