For the first time since his 10-game suspension for violating the league’s personal conduct policy, Justin Tucker is on probation.

The New Orleans Saints will work out Tucker, a veteran, after Blake Grubb missed two of his three field goal attempts in a loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.

Saints coach Kellen Moore spoke about Tucker’s experience on Monday.

“He’s been one of their leaders for a long period of time on a very successful team,” Moore said, via Nick Underhill. “Obviously there are some unfortunate things. He’s been through an experience and I think it’s about piecing together what that experience was like.”

Tucker accepted the league-length suspension, which was one game less than the suspension of Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson, who was involved in a similar situation in 2022.

When referring to Tucker being a leader, Moore was discussing the 36-year-old’s time with the Ravens, where he made seven Pro Bowls, became a five-time All-Pro and won a Super Bowl over his 13 years with the franchise.

But due to off-field issues, the Ravens decided to move on from Tucker, who struggled in 2024, making 22 of his 30 field goal attempts while missing two of his 62 extra point attempts.

His wife, Amanda, is also stuck with her husband.

“The false allegations against Justin have caused a lot of hurt to our family,” she told OutKick. “I believe in my husband, I love him and support him completely.”
