The Kansas City Chiefs have signed former Ravens kicker Justin Tucker to their practice squad, according to sources. ESPN and NFL Network report the move, while CBS Sports and multiple Yahoo Sports and The Athletic outlets describe it as Tucker’s return to the NFL after time away.
Most coverage links the timing of the signing to issues with the Chiefs’ current kicking situation. Several reports say Harrison Butker is struggling, including one Yahoo Sports report that points to missed field goals in Week 7. In contrast, The Athletic adds additional context about Tucker’s prior absence, saying he previously served a 10-game suspension for violations of the NFL’s personal conduct policy. Other outlets focus more on the roster move itself and the fact that Tucker is back with Kansas City.
