It sounds like Tucker is quite lethargic. I'd keep an eye on him now since he is otherwise acting normal. If this lethargy continues tomorrow and/or he develops other signs such as vomiting, anorexia, congestion, increased coughing, respiratory difficulty, and/or sneezing, then I would take him into the vet. Best of luck, happy holidays!
