How long will Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice's suspension be?
Rice, who has been rehabilitating a torn ACL he suffered last season, was sentenced to 30 days of jail time and five years of probation for his role in a street racing incident in Dallas, Texas, last year.
Though the courts have decided Rice's punishment from a legal perspective, the NFL has yet to announce how long the former SMU Mustang will be suspended.
Several NFL experts sounded off on Twitter with their best guesses about how long Rice will be suspended:
While Rice was expected to miss the beginning of Kansas City's 2025 campaign due to his knee injury, a lengthy suspension could further complicate the Super Bowl LVIII champion's return to action with the Chiefs.
With training camp set to kick off next week, Kansas City's fans should anticipate news of Rice's official disposition for the 2025 season in the near future.

Four takeaways from Boston College coach Bill O'Brien's appearance at ACC Football Kickoff
Here are four takeaways from O'Brien's news conference: Versatile defense could be the key Dealing with player losses following graduation and the NFL Draft is par for the course for college coaches, so O'Brien isn't fazed by the departure of top defensive end Donovan Ezeiruaku, who the Cowboys selected in the second round. Advertisement O'Brien expects his versatile defense will have no trouble filling the hole left by Ezeiruaku, who was the 2024 ACC Defensive Player of the Year after leading the conference with 16.5 sacks. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up 'I feel very confident in our ability to play good defense this year,' O'Brien said. 'We have a lot of versatile players. We have guys that can play safety and corner. We have linebackers that can play in the box. They can walk out on receivers. We have nickels that can play safety, that can play corner. We have defensive linemen that can play inside, that can play off the edge. And over the course of 30 practices in training camp, that'll all come together, and we'll be ready to go when the season kicks off.' Advertisement Touchdown in Charlotte — Boston College Football (@BCFootball) BC's NIL money is awarded to players who 'earn it,' including by attending class O'Brien called revenue sharing and name, image, and likeness legislation in college football 'the wild, wild west,' especially when compared with the NFL's model. 'There's all different things that go into the NFL, but it's very uniform. There's rules,' he said. 'That's something that I believe has to happen eventually in college football — that there has to be enforcement.' Despite facing the added challenge of recruiting players to a private, Jesuit university with high academic standards, O'Brien is satisfied with the way he, chief of staff Berj Najarian, and the administration have handled their NIL model. 'We do a good job of making sure the players understand it's an 'earn it' philosophy,' O'Brien said. 'Every [football player] coming into BC as a freshman, they're going to make a certain amount of money. From that point forward, they're going to earn everything they get.' By performing well, players can earn additional money. But those performance incentives are not limited to the field. 'Going to class, being on time for meetings,' O'Brien said. 'You don't necessarily have to be an All-American right away. Just got to be a good guy, a good locker room guy, good teammate, somebody that's a contributing member of the team. And if you do that, you'll earn more and more as you go through your career at BC.' The difference between a winning and losing record is minor details The Eagles haven't finished above .500 in conference play since 2009, when they went 5-3 in the ACC and 9-5 overall. O'Brien has tried to convey to his players that the difference between finishing 4-4 in the conference — as BC did last season — and winning 10 or 11 games overall comes down to a handful of mistakes. Advertisement Three of the Eagles' six losses last season were by less than a touchdown, and five were by 10 points or fewer. 'There's a small margin of error for all the teams, and we have to figure out how to be on the right side of that margin, whether it's turnovers or missed opportunities on defense, maybe a lack of communication here and there,' O'Brien said. 'My point is it comes down to seven or eight, maybe nine plays in a game that make a big difference.' O'Brien likes to leverage local connections in recruiting It's no secret that BC faces stiff competition in recruiting from schools that can offer more NIL money, larger stadiums, or more trophies in their cases, so to lock down his top prospects, O'Brien presents BC as the whole package: a great education in a major city, where players can earn money and play in a Power Five conference. While O'Brien recruits all over the country, he also likes to sell local players on the idea that their families can attend every game, and he tries to use BC's identity to his advantage. 'We recruit at every Catholic school in the country,' he said. O'Brien also said he doesn't put much stock into prospect rankings and stars. 'I want to see what they do on the field when they get there,' he said. 'We have a process of how we evaluate prospects, and I think we're on the right path.' Emma Healy can be reached at

Dolphins OL Bayron Matos In Stable Condition After Training Camp Injury
Miami Dolphins offensive lineman Bayron Matos remained under observation at the Ryder Trauma Care Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital on Thursday, one day after he was transported there by helicopter from training camp with an undisclosed injury. The Dolphins said in a statement that Matos "has movement in all extremities and is in stable condition," but they did not provide any other details of his injury. The team also did not say how long Matos would be under the care of doctors. "It's a really heartbreaking part of the game," fellow Dolphins offensive lineman Austin Jackson said of the injury, which occurred in the final minutes of Day 1 of training camp. "Very tough." The 24-year-old Matos was born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, and played his college football at New Mexico and South Florida. He was undrafted in 2024 and signed with the Dolphins as a free agent through the NFL's International Player Pathway Program, an initiative that gives athletes from countries outside the U.S. a chance to play in the league. Matos, who signed a reserve/future contract in January, had spent time with Miami's practice squad over the past year. Matos only started playing football a few years ago. He grew up playing baseball and basketball, and after moving to Tennessee for high school, popped up on the radar of hoops coaches. Matos wound up redshirting and playing one season for New Mexico before transferring to South Florida, where he continued playing basketball and walked onto the football team. The 6-foot-7, 334-pound Matos started off as a defensive lineman and special teams player before switching to offensive line. Reporting by The Associated Press.

Jimmy Graham thanks New Orleans and the Saints in retirement announcement
The New Orleans Saints have had a rollercoaster of an offseason so far in 2025, with the team having five retirees over the course of a few months, including franchise legend Jimmy Graham. One of the best-accomplished tight ends in NFL history, Graham had the opportunity to really showcase his talent with the Saints over the years, with a few stops on other teams. Thankfully, he will retire a Saints player and will end his career where it started back in 2010. After his intent to retire was shared by Saints team reporter John DeShazier, Graham sent out a thoughtful message to New Orleans as a whole and fans of the team that gave him an opportunity to shine. Here's the full quote: Walking away from this game is emotional... not because it's over, but because of what it gave me. New Orleans... you didn't just take a chance on a football player. You gave an orphaned basketball player a shot when the rest of the league had doubts. The coaches, the staff, my teammates... you all became family. Every yard I ran, every touchdown I fought for, I gave you my entire spirit. This city didn't just change my became a part of who I am. Forever grateful. Graham's career in New Orleans was an extremely special one, and as it finally sets in for everyone involved, hopefully, he will find a spot in the Saints Hall of Fame and Ring of Honor, where he belongs without a shadow of a doubt. Even better, a Pro Football Hall of Fame nod would be spectacular, but that is further down the road once his eligibility opens up. A legendary player, whenever he took the field, he now steps away and pursues a multitude of other goals in life, as the team looks to pay their dues to one of the best to ever don the Black and Gold.
