Chiefs not limiting Rashee Rice's training camp participation despite jail sentence, potential NFL suspension
Kansas City Chiefs players are reporting to training camp Monday, including third-year wide receiver Rashee Rice, despite his jail sentence and a possible NFL suspension looming. Last week, Rice, 25, was sentenced to five years probation and 30 days of jail time by a Dallas County judge, per the Dallas County District Attorney's Office. Rice pled guilty to two third-degree felony charges related to his role in a multi-car crash that injured multiple people on a Dallas highway last year. "We're going to progress as normal with him," Chiefs head coach Andy Reid told reporters Sunday. "He'll go in and take all the reps that he'd normally take. We always rotate that position. So depending on what happens here in the future, whoever needs to play will be able step in, and they'll know what they are doing and be in good shape to do it." While a suspension is widely expected, Reid said Sunday he didn't know when the NFL would decide on a potential punishment for Rice. Because the plea deal Rice took includes deferred probation, his case will be dismissed if he successfully completes probation. His 30 days of jail time can be served at any point of his five years on probation, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported last week. Rice was ruled to pay medical expenses totaling $115,481.91 for all the victims involved in the chain-reaction car crash he and then-SMU cornerback Teddy Knox caused by speeding during rush hour traffic on March 30, 2024. Rice was going 119 mph in a Lamborghini Urus SUV prior to first impact and made "multiple aggressive maneuvers around traffic", per the DA's office. He didn't check on the people in the cars affected by the collision and then fled on foot. Rice's lawyer, Royce West, released a statement on Rice's behalf last week in the media release from the DA's office. "Last March, I was involved in a high-speed accident in Dallas. There have been a lot of sleepless nights thinking about the damages that my actions caused, and I will continue working within my means to make sure that everyone impacted will be made whole. I urge everyone to mind the speed limit, drive safe and drive smart," Rice said in the statement. "Last and certainly not least, I am profoundly sorry for the physical damages to person and property. I fully apologize for the harm I caused to innocent drivers and their families." After catching 24 passes for 288 yards and 2 touchdowns in four games to start the 2024 season, Rice went on injured reserve in early October. Then he had season-ending LCL surgery. The former second-round pick's sophomore season was cut short, following an impressive rookie campaign that saw the SMU product reel in 79 passes for 938 yards and 7 touchdowns. Reid said Sunday that he and his staff will keep an eye on Rice's knee in training camp. Rice participated in Chiefs' voluntary OTAs and mandatory minicamp.

Chiefs' Rashee Rice sentenced to 30 days in jail, 5 years probation
July 17 - Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice will serve 30 days in jail and five years of probation for his involvement in a Texas multicar crash last year, multiple media outlets reported on Thursday. The sentence followed his guilty plea to two third-degree felony counts: collision involving serious bodily injury and racing on a highway causing bodily injury. The Dallas district court judge who issued the sentence ruled Rice's jail time can be served at any juncture during his five-year probation. Per ESPN, Rice likely will be suspended by the NFL for multiple games after the Lamborghini SUV the wideout was driving struck a retaining wall in what the police called a "chain reaction collision" on March 30, 2024. The end result was a six-car crash in Dallas that left seven people with injuries. Police said Rice was going as fast as 119 mph on a Dallas freeway. "Last March, I was involved in a high-speed accident in Dallas," Rice said in a statement released by his attorney, Royce West. "There have been a lot of sleepless nights thinking about the damages that my actions caused, and I will continue working within my means to make sure that everyone impacted will be made whole. I urge everyone to mind the speed limit, drive safe and drive smart. Last and certainly not least, I am profoundly sorry for the physical damages to person and property. I fully apologize for the harm I caused to innocent drivers and their families." He has paid more than $115,000 in restitution to the victims for their medical expenses, the Dallas County District Attorney's office said. Rice is continuing his recovery following season-ending surgery on his injured right knee. He sustained the injury after colliding with Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes in a Week 4 road win against the Los Angeles Chargers last season. A second-round draft pick in 2023, Rice set the Chiefs' rookie record for receiving touchdowns (seven) and receptions (79) that season. Rice recorded the second-most receiving yards by a rookie in Chiefs history (938), trailing only Dwayne Bowe (995 in 2007). Rice, 25, caught 24 passes for 288 yards and two touchdowns in four starts last season before his injury. --Field Level Media

Chiefs' Rashee Rice likely facing suspension after pleading guilty to 2024 car crash felony charges: Sources
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice pleaded guilty to two third-degree felony charges, including collision involving serious bodily injury and racing on a highway causing bodily injury in a Dallas County court on Thursday, Dallas County said in a release. The charges stem from Rice's role in a 2024 multi-vehicle car crash in which Rice crashed his Lamborghini, causing a chain reaction collision involving four other vehicles. With the issuance of the sentencing, Rice is now likely facing a multi-game suspension, league sources confirmed. Advertisement 'We have been closely monitoring all developments in the matter which remains under review,' the NFL said in a statement. As part of a plea agreement with the Dallas County District Attorney's Office, Rice was sentenced to five years of deferred probation and 30 days in jail as a condition of his probation. He was also required to pay restitution to all the victims for their out-of-pocket medical expenses prior to the plea, totaling $115,481.91, per the release. 'Last March, I was involved in a high-speed accident in Dallas. There have been a lot of sleepless nights thinking about the damages that my actions caused, and I will continue working within my means to make sure that everyone impacted will be made whole,' Rice's lawyer Royce West said in a statement on Rice's behalf in the release. 'I urge everyone to mind the speed limit, drive safe and drive smart. Last and certainly not least, I am profoundly sorry for the physical damages to person and property. I fully apologize for the harm I caused to innocent drivers and their families.' In a preliminary investigation into the crash, police determined that Rice's Lamborghini and former SMU teammate Theodore Knox's Corvette were racing at high speeds when Rice struck the median wall. Rice and Knox ran from the scene, while two other drivers involved in the crash were treated for minor injuries and two occupants of another vehicle were taken to the hospital with minor injuries. An arrest warrant was issued for Rice after the crash, and he turned himself in to police one day later. In addition to civil lawsuits filed by the other drivers involved, Rice was facing criminal charges of aggravated assault, collision involving serious bodily injury and six counts of collision involving injury. Rice was not placed on the commissioner's exempt list after the crash, and Jeff Miller, NFL executive vice president of communications, public affairs and policy, said the league would await the outcome of the case proceedings. After playing in 16 games of his rookie season in 2023, Rice tore the lateral collateral ligament in his right knee in Week 4 last year, ending his season. The Chiefs drafted him in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft.
