Ravens head coach John Harbaugh’s old comments on Deshaun Watson have resurfaced amid the allegations against Baltimore kicker Justin Tucker.

Tucker has been in the news over the last few days following a bombshell report from The Baltimore Banner citing claims from several massage therapists accusing the player of sexual misconduct.

The All-Pro kicker is said to have exposed his genitals to masseuses during massage sessions, brushing against them and, at times, even ejaculating on massage tables. According to the report, two spas banned him from returning.

Six women initially came forward with allegations in Thursday’s report. But three more have since spoken to the outlet, while another has solicited legal representation, taking the number up to 10.

The Ravens are aware of the accusations, as is the NFL. Both entities have said that they take the claims seriously and will carry out their own investigations. Harbaugh, though, hasn’t said anything on the matter.

John Harbaugh Had “a Lot Of Opinions” On Deshaun Watson’s Case

While the head coach doesn’t have to speak about the claims, some find it hypocritical, given that he had something to say when Watson was accused of something similar in 2022.

“I do have a lot of opinions on it,” he said, per ProFootballTalk. “I’m just not at liberty to share them at this time. That’s for the league to decide.”

Harbaugh then went on to discuss the Ravens’ zero-tolerance policy when it comes to such behavior.

“I respect what [owner] Steve Bisciotti and [former team president] Dick Cass created here almost 10 years ago. Basically, we’re kind of zero tolerance. You have to know the truth, you have to try to understand the circumstances, but we’ve stayed away from that particular situation — when we draft players, when we sign them as free agents. That’s Steve’s decision, and I’m glad that we have that policy.”

Tucker, meanwhile, has denied the allegations, stating that they are “unequivocally false” while denying he has ever been banned from any massage parlor.

The kicker is contracted with the Ravens through 2027, but that zero-tolerance policy could come into play if there’s any truth to the allegations.
