Andy Reid addresses concerns over Justin Tucker signing with Chiefs

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid held a press conference on October 28, 2026, responding to concerns about signing kicker Justin Tucker, who was released by Baltimore amid allegations of sexual misconduct. Reid stated that Tucker had completed his suspension after serving a 10-game penalty last season and emphasized that the Chiefs conducted thorough evaluations before making the decision. In the press conference, Reid reiterated his confidence in Tucker, despite his prior controversies and a lack of a contract last year. Tucker is not expected to take immediate playing duties, with incumbent kicker Harrison Butker remaining the starter for their upcoming game against the Denver Broncos on November 1.
