NFL fans are growing concerned for Justin Tucker after he made an appearance looking sickly.
The Baltimore Ravens kicker is having a tough season, and fans believe it may be affecting him.
The Ravens returned from bye this week and Tucker appeared to be extremely tired in his first interview.
Tucker had dark circles around his eyes and looked slightly thin in his appearance.
It is possible that Tucker’s rough season could be affecting him physically.
He is in the midst of the worst season of his career.
Tucker is 19 for 27 of field goals this year, only hitting 70 percent of his kicks.
That number is 39th in the NFL compared to other kickers.
It is the first season of Tucker’s career that his kicking percentage is lower than 80.
It is also the first season that Tucker has missed more than seven field goals.
Fans are concerned that this might be getting to him, and shared their thoughts on social media.
“As a Ravens fan, it’s sad to have to admit it but it’s time for Tucker to hang it up. Hasn’t been the same,” one fan said.
“He is a human after all. Perhaps he’s got some stuff going on,” another fan said.
“He don’t look good!” a third fan said.
“Poor guy. Probably stressed, went from being the best to far from it,” a fourth fan said.
“You’d be stressed too if you couldn’t do something you used to always be able to do,” a fifth fan said.

Tucker’s kicking woes have cost the Ravens multiple wins this season.
They sit at 8-5 on the season, but lost games to the Philadelphia Eagles and Pittsburgh Steelers due to missed field goals.
The Ravens have high hopes for the playoffs, and will need Tucker to be at his best once they get there.
He will need to figure things out soon to recapture his magic in time.
