Saints to work out veteran kicker Justin Tucker on Monday

The New Orleans Saints are working out veteran kicker Justin Tucker on Monday, NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo reported.

This will be the first workout for Tucker since he served a 10-game suspension this season for violations of the NFL's personal conduct policy stemming from allegations of improper behavior during massage sessions by 16 massage therapists from eight Baltimore-area spas.

Tucker was released May 5 by the Baltimore Ravens following 13 seasons with the club.

Tucker was under league investigation following the allegations, which were said to have taken place from his rookie season in 2012 through 2016. The allegations of improper conduct were initially reported by the Baltimore Banner on Jan. 30.

Tucker has denied all misconduct.

The Saints (2-9) are also working out veteran kicker Cade York, Rapoport and Garafolo reported.

The Saints' current kicker, Blake Grupe, has struggled throughout the season. Grupe is 18 of 26 of field goal attempts (69.2 percent) and he missed two field goals during New Orleans' loss to the rival Falcons on Sunday.

An undrafted free agent out of Texas, Tucker is a seven-time Pro Bowl selection and five-time All-Pro. He is the most accurate kicker in league history with an 89.1 field goal percentage and previously held the NFL record for the longest made field goal at 66 yards and won Super Bowl XLVII with Baltimore.

In 2024, however, he had his worst season statistically, converting a career-low 73.3% of his field goals.
