Ravens make 'tough decision,' release kicker Justin Tucker

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- In an unceremonious end to one of the greatest Ravens careers, Baltimore released kicker Justin Tucker on Monday, parting ways with the NFL's most accurate kicker who is being investigated by the league for sexual misconduct.

"Sometimes football decisions are incredibly difficult, and this is one of those instances. Considering our current roster, we have made the tough decision to release Justin Tucker," Ravens executive vice president and general manager Eric DeCosta said in a statement.

"Justin created many significant and unforgettable moments in Ravens history. His reliability, focus, drive, resilience and extraordinary talent made him one of the league's best kickers for over a decade.
