Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid defends the franchise's decision to sign Justin Tucker to its practice squad, stating the kicker has "done his suspension".

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has defended signing kicker Justin Tucker to the team's practice squad, noting that Tucker has completed his NFL suspension. Tucker was previously suspended for 10 games under the league's personal conduct policy following sexual misconduct allegations from 16 massage therapists, which he has denied. He was released by the Baltimore Ravens in May 2025 and is now immediately eligible for selection.
Reid stated that the Chiefs conducted extensive background checks before finalizing the deal. The move follows recent struggles by Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker, who missed five of 16 field-goal attempts this season.
