Disciplinary hearing for K.C. Chiefs' Rashee Rice expected Sept. 30
Aug. 14 (UPI) -- The NFL's disciplinary hearing for the Kansas City Chiefs' Rashee Rice is expected to be Sept. 30 in New York, clearing a path for him to play early in the 2025 season.
Sources told ESPN, The Athletic and the Washington Post about the hearing date Thursday afternoon. A Sept. 30 date could make Rice available for the Chiefs' first four games of the regular season.
The hearing stems from the 25-year-old's role in a March 2024 car crash in Dallas. Rice was sentenced in July to five years of probation and 30 days in jail after he plead guilty to two third-degree felony charges as a result.
The NFL typically waits until legal matters are resolved before imposing suspensions under its personal conduct policy.
Rice, who police said was driving 119 mph when he crashed a Lamborghini Urus and caused a chain reaction of collisions, also had to pay restitution to the victims for their medical expenses -- more than $115,000.
Rice, a second-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, missed 13 games last season due to a knee injury. He totaled 938 yards and seven scores on 79 catches as a rookie.
The Chiefs will face the Seattle Seahawks in their second preseason game at 10 p.m. EDT Friday in Seattle. They will host the Chicago Bears in their preseason finale Aug. 22 in Kansas City, Mo.
The Chiefs will play the Los Angeles Chargers in their regular season opener Sept. 5 in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Browns QB Shedeur Sanders' injury timeline revealed after oblique strain
Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders will not play in the team's second preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Suffering an oblique injury in Wednesday's joint practice against the Eagles, the Browns sat him out the rest of practice, and he took it easy on Thursday as well. How long, however, will Sanders be out as he continues to look to prove to the team that he deserves reps after a strong preseason debut in the win over the Carolina Panthers? We may just have an answer for you. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero has reported that the Browns could get Sanders back on the practice field as early as Monday next week, and that he could play in the Browns' final preseason game against the Los Angeles Rams. Here is what Pelissero had to say on the Browns' fifth rounder: "Shedeur Sanders will not play tomorrow against the Eagles because of that oblique injury that knocked him out of practice on Wednesday. However, I am told there is cautious optimism that Sanders could return to practice next week and be able to play in the preseason finale. Officially, the Browns are calling him day-to-day." With Sanders out against the Eagles, it is anticipated (barring a last-minute setback with his hamstring injury) that third round rookie Dillon Gabriel will make his NFL debut and start for the Browns. We have yet to see Kenny Pickett in a live setting since suffering a hamstring injury, as it has been the 40-year-old Joe Flacco who has won the war of attrition at this point and is the front-runner to be named the Browns' starting quarterback. Could Sanders still make a push for the backup job if he comes back healthy next week and puts together another strong outing against the Rams in the preseason finale? Much of that answer can be found in how Gabriel plays tomorrow afternoon against the Eagles. However, there is without a doubt, pressure on the third rounder with Sanders biting at his heels.

Browns QB Dillon Gabriel to start vs. Eagles if healthy
The Cleveland Browns enter their second preseason game of the season against the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday afternoon, and their plan at quarterback is becoming clearer. Quarterbacks Kenny Pickett and Shedeur Sanders are expected to be sidelined with injuries this weekend, paving the way for Dillon Gabriel to make his first career NFL start. The issue is, however, that Gabriel has not yet been a full participant in practice either, since tweaking his hamstring. However, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero has stated that, barring a setback in his pre-game warmup, Gabriel will be good to go against the Eagles and will make the start. Here is what Pelissero had to say: "They are hoping that Dillon Gabriel is going to wake up feeling good tomorrow that he can go out and start and make his debut after his own hamstring injury. If not, if all else fails, then it's going to be a whole lot of Tyler "Snoop" Huntley against the Philadelphia Eagles." So you heard it there first. The plan is for Gabriel to start, and the fallback is that Tyler Huntley will play the whole game for the Browns under center.
