Chiefs' Rashee Rice Making 'Good' Progress In Injury Return
Chiefs' Rashee Rice Making 'Good' Progress In Injury Return originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Kansas City Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice is making his way back from a knee injury that saw his 2024 season end after just four games, and the good-news progress he's making will surely put a smile on the faces of fans and the coaching staff.

With the defending AFC champs beginning OTAs, this is the time of year when, if a player is nursing an injury or, in Rice's case, making a return from a significant one, it is steady as she goes.
But in what is somewhat of a surprise, yet a great one at that, per Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star, Rashee wasn't just on the field doing bits and pieces, he was doing everything.
"Rashee Rice, a full participant, had a good day," McDowell posted on X.

Given how the offense struggled at times last season with Rice out, Marquise "Hollywood" Brown not being sighted until Week 16, and the up-and-down form of Travis Kelce, there is a lot of upside for the offense.

For Rice, it is a great sign that he is a full participant at OTAs, but no doubt the Chiefs will take a cautious approach with their No. 1 weapon.
Training camp is a long, arduous grind for players, and we imagine that Rice will be managed through it, much like he is at OTAs.
Still, having him on the grass now is a good sign that, come the beginning of the season, the Chiefs will have their No. 1 weapon fully fit and ready to pick up where he left off last season.

Former Browns WR Elijah Moore drawing rave reviews from new Bills teammates
Former Browns WR Elijah Moore drawing rave reviews from new Bills teammates Wide receiver Elijah Moore departed the Cleveland Browns for the Buffalo Bills late into NFL free agency, but he is already seeing praise heaped upon him by his new teammates. The particular Bills teammate? Pro Bowl and former first round cornerback Tre'Davious White. Unprompted, White had this to say on the now-former Browns and New York Jets wideout looking for a fresh start on his third team: 'He's gonna be a big-time player for us. Route running is amazing, getting in and out, his breaks is amazing.' Moore finished his two-year stint with the Browns with just 1,178 yards receiving and three touchdowns, catching the football from a wide multitude of quarterbacks in that span under some lackluster offenses. Both seasons, however, were career-highs for Moore after coming over from the Jets in a trade before the 2023 NFL draft. Now playing with the first stable quarterback of his entire career, is Moore destined for a breakout season in Buffalo? Besides, Moore did flash in the brown and orange with quarterback Joe Flacco providing the most consistent quarterback play he has seen in his NFL career. It would certainly be a tough pill to swallow in Cleveland if he produces at a high level while catching passes from reigning MVP Josh Allen.

Cavaliers' Darius Garland has toe surgery, out 4-5 months
Cavaliers guard Darius Garland had surgery Monday on the injured left big toe that hampered him during Cleveland's exit from the playoffs. The Cavaliers said the procedure was performed by Dr. Nicholas Strasser at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee, in consultation with team physician Dr. James Rosneck and Dr. Bob Anderson. The All-Star guard missed the final two games of the regular season and four games during the playoffs with the injury, which was described as a sprain. "Definitely wasn't myself. It was pretty uncomfortable but trying to do everything to win the game. It was frustrating because I wasn't 100 percent," Garland said after the Cavaliers lost to the Indiana Pacers in five games in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Garland is expected to spend 4 to 5 months going through a progression of treatment and rehabilitation before resuming basketball activities by the start of training camp. Garland averaged 20.6 points and 6.7 assists during the regular season to help the Cavs finish atop the Eastern Conference. In just five playoff games, he dropped to 18 points and 5.2 assists per game, and while Cleveland won the two games against the Miami Heat that Garland sat out due to his toe, he also missed two of the four games that the Cavs dropped to the Pacers in the conference semifinals.

The late Jim Irsay's 3 daughters take charge of Colts under his transition plan
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indianapolis Colts are moving forward with the late Jim Irsay's transition plan for ownership, which calls for his three daughters to take charge of the club. The team said Monday that Carlie Irsay-Gordon, Casey Foyt and Kalen Jackson each would continue to hold the title of owner, which they have done since 2012 when they were named vice chairs. Irsay-Gordon is now CEO, and Foyt is executive vice president. Jackson will be chief brand officer. Irsay died last month at age 65. He had long battled issues of health and addiction and had been far less visible following a fall at his home in December. All three of the sisters grew up around the Colts, just as their father did before taking over as owner following the death of his father, Robert Irsay, in 1997. Irsay-Gordon has represented the Colts at various NFL meetings since 2004, three years before Foyt joined the front office. Foyt had previously worked for the NFL in London. Jackson has been leading the family's initiative to raise awareness of mental health. ___ AP NFL:
