The NFL announced on Friday that it has closed its investigation into abuse allegations against Rashee Rice<\/a>, and the Chiefs wide receiver will not face any discipline by the league.<\/p>\n

“There was insufficient evidence to support a finding that he violated the personal conduct policy,” the league said in a statement obtained by NFL.com.<\/p>\n

The NFL’s investigation into Rice began in February after Dacoda Jones, Rice’s former girlfriend, alleged in a lawsuit<\/a> that Rice physically assaulted her multiple times over a year-and-a-half period, causing injuries that included bleeding and bruising.<\/p>\n

Rice’s attorney, Sean Lindsey, said in a statement<\/a> obtained by the Associated Press that “Mr. Rice wants to thank the NFL for their thorough investigation, and looks forward to the start of the 2026-27 NFL season.”<\/p>\n

Rice, 25, missed the first six games of last season<\/a> following an NFL suspension for his role in a high-speed crash on a Dallas highway<\/a> that left multiple people injured during the 2024 offseason. He was sentenced to 30 days in jail<\/a> and five years probation after pleading guilty to third-degree felony charges of collision involving serious bodily injury and racing on a highway causing bodily injury.<\/p>\n

After returning from his six-game suspension, Rice finished the 2025 season with 53 catches for 571 yards and five touchdowns as Kansas City went 6-11 and missed the playoffs for the first time in a decade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The NFL announced on Friday that it has closed its investigation into abuse allegations against Rashee Rice, and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":852624,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2026],"tags":[1227,7,110,88,609,4000,7708],"class_list":{"0":"post-852623","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-around-the-nfl","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-kansas-city-chiefs","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-no-minute","13":"tag-rashee-rice","14":"tag-sensitive-content"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116344456698037324","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/852623","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=852623"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/852623\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/852624"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=852623"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=852623"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=852623"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
