How long will Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice's suspension be?
The Kansas City Chiefs will be without star wide receiver Rashee Rice for part of the 2025 season. 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.

Chiefs star Rashee Rice gets jail sentence for fleeing Dallas car crash that left several people injured
Kansas City Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice has been sentenced to five years' probation and 30 days of jail time over his 2024 hit-and-run crash on a Dallas highway that was captured in a viral video. Rice was estimated to be speeding at 119mph before the collision, which resulted in several injuries for other motorists and passengers. The jail term can be served at any time over the next five years, according to ESPN, which was the first outlet to report the news. In a related lawsuit, Rice has agreed to pay $1million to a plaintiff who sued him over the 2024 crash, according to court documents obtained by Daily Mail. Rice is also being forced to pay $75,000 in pre-judgement interest and $12,000 in plaintiff attorney fees. '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.' The NFL is expected to discipline Rice, who could receive a multi-game suspension after he was seen attempting to run away from the multi-vehicle crash last year. Rice would not be paid for any games he missed during a potential ban. Dashcam footage of the accident shows when the Super Bowl winner crashed in 2024 Rice was renting the Lamborghini sport utility vehicle authorities said was one of two speeding sports cars that caused a chain-reaction crash on a Dallas highway in May of 2024. The occupants of the Lamborghini and the other speeding vehicle — a Corvette — left without checking on the drivers and passengers in the other four cars involved in the collision. A spokesman for the rental company, The Classic Lifestyle, said the Lamborghini rents for about $1,750 a day and is worth about $250,000. Police said the Corvette and Lamborghini were speeding in the far-left lane of North Central Expressway when they lost control. The Lamborghini went onto the shoulder and hit the center median wall, causing a chain-reaction collision. Four people in the other vehicles were treated for minor injuries. After his client was seen fleeing the scene of the accident, West said at the time that Rice would 'take all necessary steps to address this situation responsibly.' Rice, a member of the Super Bowl LVIII-winning Chiefs team, is from the Dallas area. He played for Southern Methodist University and grew up in the Fort Worth suburb of North Richland Hills. The 25-year-old has $3.5 million in career earnings and is slated to make $1.3 million in 2025. However, that salary will likely suffer if he misses any games due to suspension. Already thin at receiver, the Chiefs stood by Rice in 2024 in spite of the arrest. Ultimately Rice's season was ended in Week 4 when he tore his ACL by colliding with quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Rice is expected to be ready for training camp when it opens on July 21 at Missouri Western State University. He has not addressed the ruling publicly, but did post a photo of himself on Instagram with the caption: 'Gods (sic) plan.'

Rashee Rice sentenced to jail time, probation after 2024 car crash as possible NFL suspension looms: report
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice learned his punishment for his role in a vehicle crash in the Dallas area last year. ESPN reported Thursday that a judge in Dallas County sentenced Rice to probation and a month-long stint in jail. The probation period is expected to last five years, according to the report. Royce West, Rice's lawyer, told FOX 4 Dallas Rice entered a guilty plea for felony racing on the highway and a felony accident causing bodily injury. The accident happened in March 2024. According to multiple reports, a vehicle was traveling approximately 119 mph when it collided with another car that was also traveling over the speed limit. Rice had already paid approximately $115,000 in restitution to cover the victims' medical expenses, FOX 4 Dallas reported. The league has waited for the legal process to reach its conclusion before taking disciplinary action against Rice. The judge's ruling could move the NFL's disciplinary process forward. If Rice is suspended, he would likely miss games during the 2025 season, ESPN reported. Rice was also granted a deferred adjudication, paving the way for a case dismissal upon the successful completion of his probation. Rice released a statement shortly after the accident saying he was cooperating with authorities. "Today, I met with Dallas PD investigators regarding Saturday's accident," Rice said in a statement in April 2024. "I take full responsibility for my part in this matter and will continue to cooperate with the necessary authorities. I sincerely apologize to everyone impacted in Saturday's accident." Dashcam footage obtained by FOX 4 Dallas showed a Corvette and Lamborghini speeding down the left lane before barreling into a gray car and other vehicles in front of them. KDFW later reported that an attorney representing The Classic Lifestyle confirmed Rice rented the Lamborghini SUV from the company. According to The Classic Lifestyle policy, Rice was the vehicle's only authorized driver for the duration of the rental. Dallas Police also told Fox News Digital occupants in both the Corvette and Lamborghini fled and failed to exchange information. They also did not check to see if anyone was injured or needed assistance. Rice missed the final 13 games of the 2024 season due to a knee injury. The receiver underwent posterolateral corner surgery in October. Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
