Chiefs Receive Good News on Rashee Rice on Monday

Chiefs Receive Good News on Rashee Rice on Monday originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

Led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes and head coach Andy Reid, the Kansas City Chiefs are looking to get back to the Super Bowl for the fourth straight season.

Kansas City went on an incredible run in 2024, defeating the Houston Texans and the Buffalo Bills in the postseason before losing to the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl. Despite their sucess, the Chiefs missed the contribution of wide receiver Rashee Rice. The talented receiver suffered a season-ending knee injury, playing four games in his second season in the league.

Last week, Rice suffered a groin injury that caused him to miss a couple of days of practice. On Monday, Rice made his return.

While the extent of the groin injury has yet to be reported, the presence of Rice is a great sign for Reid and the coaching staff.

Rice proved to be one of the best players on the offensive side of the ball for Kansas City last season in the limited time he was available.

This year, he’ll be playing alongside one of the most talented units the Chiefs have fielded in years with receivers Marquise “Hollywood” Brown and Xavier Worthy.

But how much Rice will be able to be on the field this season is very much in doubt. Last month, he pleaded guilty to two third-degree felonies for his role in a high-speed car crash on a Dallas highway in March 2024, and he was sentenced to five years of probation and 30 days in jail. The NFL is widely expected to suspend Rice for multiple games at some point this year.
