While Tucker is currently a free agent, his suspension begins in Week 1 of the season whether he is with a team by then or not.

“Tucker remains free to try out and sign with a club,” the NFL’s report said. “If he is signed during the offseason, he may attend training camp and participate in preseason games.”

The former Ravens kicker was cut by the team in early May after he was accused by 16 massage therapists in the Baltimore area of inappropriate behavior between 2012 and 2016.

Tucker has adamantly denied the allegations and the team insisted that the decision was purely based on football.
