Yes, Andy Reid commented on the signing. When asked about Justin Tucker's past — including the 10-game NFL suspension he served in 2025 following sexual misconduct allegations — Reid had two main things to say:
- On the due diligence: "We try to do our homework the best way we can." (from the Harrison Butker page)
- On the suspension: "He's done his suspension. Took care of his business there." (from the Harrison Butker page)
The signing came in late October 2026 after starting kicker Harrison Butker missed five field goals through Week 7, including two in a loss to the Seahawks. Tucker joined the Chiefs' practice squad to create competition at the position.
