What happened: Kansas City's head coach announced Wednesday that the longtime Baltimore Ravens specialist is joining the club's practice unit following Harrison Butker's recent kicking struggles. Sixteen Baltimore-area massage therapists previously shared accounts of alleged inappropriate behavior by Tucker, per The Athletic.

Why it matters: Stashing a veteran option on the practice unit gives Kansas City kicking insurance behind Butker without immediately expending a 53-man active roster spot. The move addresses special-teams stability ahead of the Nov. 10 trade deadline after the offense was held to a single field goal in Week 7.

What to watch: Monitor whether Kansas City elevates Tucker to the active game-day roster if Butker's struggles continue.
