US EditionSaints Working Out Veteran Kicker Justin Tucker, Blake Grupe's Days Numbered?
The Saints are evaluating veteran Justin Tucker and Cade York after Blake Grupe missed eight of 26 field goals this season, seeking to improve their kicking game.
- The New Orleans Saints invited former Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker for a workout, NFL Network reported, marking his first tryout since his reinstatement on November 11 after a 10-game suspension.
- After Sunday's loss, Blake Grupe's missed kicks put the Saints' kicking job under a microscope as he missed two field goals and is 18-of-26 this season.
- Tucker's career includes five first-team All-Pro honors, seven Pro Bowls, and 89.1 career field-goal accuracy, while The Baltimore Banner reported allegations he denies.
- Bringing Tucker in would signal a shorter leash for Blake Grupe and intensify competition, likely stabilizing the kicking game and altering late-game outcomes for the New Orleans Saints.
- If signed, Tucker could materially alter late-game outcomes and the team's margins in close contests, as the Saints, at two and nine, seek to salvage the season by improving special teams.
