The Kansas City Chiefs are signing Justin Tucker to their practice squad, according to a person familiar with the move. This gives the five-time All-Pro kicker his first chance in the NFL after a 10-game suspension last year for violating the league's personal conduct policy. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the Chiefs hadn't announced the signing. Kicker Harrison Butker has struggled the last two seasons, missing two kicks in Sunday's loss in Seattle.

Tucker spent 13 seasons with the Ravens before being released in May. He was accused of sexual misconduct by 16 massage therapists, which he denied. Tucker never was criminally charged but the NFL suspended him for the first 10 games of last season.
