The Kansas City Chiefs have signed former Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker to their practice squad, CBS Sports reported. The move comes as incumbent kicker Harrison Butker has struggled with accuracy this season.
Tucker, 36, is an eight-time All-Pro and seven-time Pro Bowler who won Super Bowl XLVII with the Ravens. He holds NFL records for the fastest kicker to reach 300 career field goals and 1,000 points. His 417 made field goals rank 14th all-time, and he has converted 89.1% of his attempts.
The Ravens released Tucker in May 2025 following allegations of sexual misconduct by 16 women across eight Baltimore-area spas. He was suspended for the first 10 games of the 2025 season for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy but remained unsigned after working out for several teams, including the Indianapolis Colts, New Orleans Saints, and New York Jets.
Butker has missed six kicks this season, including a 58-yard and a 45-yard field goal in a Week 7 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. He is 9-of-10 on attempts inside 50 yards but 2-of-6 from 50 yards and beyond. Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said Butker has been "off a bit" and needs to fix it.
The Chiefs worked out three kickers this week before choosing Tucker over former Los Angeles Rams kicker Harrison Mevis. Tucker's addition to the practice squad signals competition for the starting role.
