Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (groin) misses practice
Rice is dealing with a groin injury, according to the team.
The third-year wideout was spotted working on the sidelines with trainers and receiver Hollywood Brown (ankle).
Rice, 25, sat out the majority of the 2024 season after suffering a torn ligament (LCL) in his right knee that required season-ending surgery. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes had thrown an interception and dove into Rice's leg as they were attempting to make a tackle.
Over the first three weeks, Rice was among the top receivers in the league with two touchdowns and 288 receiving yards (an average of 96 per game).
In 20 career games, the 2023 second-round pick out of SMU has recorded 1,226 receiving yards, 103 receptions and nine touchdowns over his first two seasons with the Chiefs.
Rice is still awaiting news of a potential NFL suspension after he caused a multi-car crash in Dallas in March 2024. He pleaded guilty in July to two third-degree felony charges of collision involving serious bodily injury and racing on a highway causing bodily injury. Rice was sentenced to five years of probation (deferred), 30 days in jail, and required to pay approximately $115,000 in medical expenses for the victims.
He also agreed separately to a $1.086 million settlement in a civil case.
"I've completely changed," Rice said at training camp. "You have to learn from things like that."

Dismembered remains found by hiker in Utah belong to fisherman missing for 28 years, cops confirm
Dismembered remains found by a hiker in Utah were found to belong to a fisherman who had been missing for nearly three decades, cops say. In May, a hiker and his dog came across a hiking boot with the remains of a human foot inside on the shores of Fish Lake, the Sevier County Sheriff's Office said in a Facebook post Tuesday. Investigators determined the shoe was only made for one year, in 1996, and the sheriff's office had a missing persons case from 1997. David White of Washington, Utah — about a two and a half hour drive southwest of Fish Lake — had vanished in September of that year while on a fishing trip. There were no witnesses. White had rented a hotel room near the lake and he was supposed to go fishing with his friends, but the plans fell through, the sheriff's office said. White decided to go fishing anyway and was never seen again. His boat was later reportedly found trolling across the lake, but no one was on board, the Sheriff's office said. Trolling is a fishing method where a baited line trails behind a boat. 'A shoe and hat were found floating in the water giving a possible indication where White was believed to have fallen in,' according to the Facebook post. The initial search for White lasted five days with no further evidence found, and now, just about 28 years later, his family has some closure. DNA was taken from the boot and one of White's daughters and testing showed a '99.9994% certainty' the samples were related. Stefanie Bennett, one of White's daughters, said in a statement: 'We are also deeply grateful to the individual and his dog who found the shoe – without them, we would not be where we are today.' She also thanked the authorities and others for 'their incredible support and tireless efforts.' Sheriff Nathan J. Curtis said in a statement: 'This case has been on the mind of every one of the SAR [search and rescue] members who were involved in the search 28 years ago. It is good to finally have some closure for the family and the searchers.'

Venus Williams on '26 plans: Shouldn't 'ever rule me out'
August 7 - Anyone who watched Venus Williams compete on the WTA Tour over the past three decades had to come away with at least one immutable truth. She is a fighter. Many of the tennis pundits and even Venus' most ardent supporters had to believe that the 2024 Miami Open would be her final hurrah. Her latest -- and most serious health issues -- surely would lead the seven-time Grand Slam champion to put the racquets in the closet. But not so fast. Williams earned a wild-card entry to the Citi Open in Washington, D.C. last month and knocked off 35th-ranked Peyton Stearns. Williams, 45, became the oldest player to earn a WTA singles victory since Martina Navratilova won a match at Wimbledon in 2004 as a 47-year-old. She would lose in the next round to Magdalena Frech, but proved to herself that 45 is just a number. "There's one thing that I know: You're never too young or too old to win or lose," Williams said as she prepares to compete in the WTA 1000 event in Cincinnati. "Winning and losing knows no age. All that matters is that I'm prepared and ready. And the longer I play, the more I get into it, the more I train, the better I get." One year ago, Williams, who was diagnosed with Sjogren's syndrome in 2011, fought a more serious health battle. She underwent surgery to remove fibroids and a large focal adenomyoma that was embedded in the muscle of her uterus. She posted this on Instagram recently: "I was told I was inoperable. I was told I could bleed to death on the table. I was told to get a surrogate and forget the hope to carry my own children. I was misdiagnosed. I went untreated for years and years and years. It's so important to advocate for your health! I suffered from severe anemia, debilitating pain, excessive bleeding and abnormally frequent menstrual cycles for many years. It affected my tennis and the trajectory of my career. I told my story so other women don't have to go through this and so they can get better sooner." The road to recovery was slow, but returning to the courts never left her thoughts. "At the end of the day, you have to live your life on your own terms," Williams said, as she prepares for an opening-round match against Spain's Jessica Bouzas Maneiro. "Your terms should be yours. It doesn't matter what anyone else says or what anyone else thinks. If you get to live life on your own terms, that's a life well-lived, and I firmly believe in that. "And I do what I do because I want to live life the way I want to, unapologetically, with no regrets and on my terms. ... Make your terms and don't surrender." After Cincinnati, Venus will compete in the 2025 US Open, partnering with Reilly Opelka in the new mixed doubles format and, hopefully, earning a wild-card entry into singles competition. Will that be Venus' final tennis chapter? Probably not. Could she compete again at age 46 in 2026? "I don't think you should ever rule me out," she said. --Field Level Media

Majors-best Brewers sweep Braves, complete 6-0 trip
August 7 - Andrew Vaughn and Blake Perkins hit home runs to support the solid effort of starter Jose Quintana and help the visiting Milwaukee Brewers beat the Atlanta Braves 5-4 on Wednesday, completing a three-game sweep. The Brewers, who own the best record in the major leagues (70-44), have won six in a row overall and has won 12 of their past 13 road games. They capped a 6-0 road trip by sweeping a set in Atlanta for the second straight season. The Braves have lost 11 of its past 14 and dropped to a season-worst 19 games below .500. The Brewers recorded 14 hits as Vaughn went 2-for-4 with a solo homer while Perkins finished 3-for-5 with a two-run shot. Isaac Collins went 3-for-4 and hit .500 (10-for-20) on the road trip. Quintana (9-4) pitched six innings and allowed three runs on seven hits and no walks. He registered a season-high seven strikeouts. Jared Koenig and Abner Uribe each followed with a scoreless inning. Milwaukee closer Trevor Megill surrendered a two-out homer to Michael Harris II in the ninth before fanning pinch hitter Drake Baldwin to earn his 26th save. Atlanta starter Spencer Strider (5-9) worked only 4 2/3 innings -- his shortest start since May 27 -- and allowed five runs on 11 hits with one walk and six strikeouts. The Braves strung together three consecutive hits in the first inning, including an RBI single from Sean Murphy. The Brewers tied the game in the second with back-to-back two-out doubles by Perkins and Brice Turang. Milwaukee took the lead in the fourth on Vaughn's solo homer, his 12th, which extended his hitting streak to 12 games -- the longest active run in the majors. Milwaukee upped the lead to 5-1 in the fifth on Vaughn's RBI grounder and a two-run homer from Perkins, his third, that knocked Strider out of the game. The Braves got a run back in the fifth on Eli White's RBI grounder, and Atlanta's Jurickson Profar socked a solo homer in the sixth, his fifth. --Field Level Media
