# Chiefs sign Justin Tucker

Sports · Heat 5.7 / 10 · 3 shows · 24m airtime

The Kansas City Chiefs signed kicker Justin Tucker on October 28, 2026, after a Tuesday workout in which he went 30 for 30. Reporting has since established that he is on the practice squad, not the active roster, and that the NFL suspended him 10 games for violating the personal conduct policy; he faced no criminal charges. Andy Reid has faced media questions about why Tucker left Baltimore and sat out, and Samson says Reid's press-conference defense did not persuade him. The discussion turns on what the move says about the league's tolerance for off-field conduct, and whether need overrides it at kicker.
