Chiefs' Rashee Rice Participating in Training Camp Despite Jail Sentence
Rashee Rice will be a full participant in training camp, Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Sunday, three days after the standout wide receiver was sentenced to 30 days in jail after authorities said he and another speeding driver caused a chain-reaction crash that left multiple people injured on a Dallas highway last year. Whether he will be able to fully participate in the regular season remains to be seen. Reid said on the eve of camp beginning that he has not been told by the NFL whether Rice will serve a suspension, though it is widely expected. NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy acknowledged last week "we have been closely monitoring all developments in the matter which remains under review." "We're going to progress as normal with him," Reid said on the campus of Missouri Western State University. "He'll go in and take all the reps that he'll normally take. We always rotate that position. Depending on what happens here with the future — whoever needs to play will step in and know what they are doing and be in good shape to do it." Rice pleaded guilty to two third-degree felony charges of collision involving serious bodily injury and racing on a highway causing bodily injury in the March 30, 2024, crash. As part of a plea agreement, prosecutors said, Rice was sentenced to five years of deferred probation and 30 days in jail as a condition of his probation. The Dallas County District Attorney's Office said that the 25-year-old Rice, who will have some flexibility regarding when he must serve the jail time, was also required to pay the victims for their out-of-pocket medical expenses, which totaled about $115,000. Rice was driving a Lamborghini Urus SUV at 119 mph when he made "multiple aggressive maneuvers around traffic" and struck other vehicles, prosecutors said. After the crash on North Central Expressway, prosecutors said Rice failed to check on the welfare of those in the other vehicles and fled on foot. Rice said in a statement issued by his attorney that he's had "a lot of sleepless nights thinking about the damages my actions caused, and I will continue working within my means to make sure that everyone impacted will be made whole." Rice got off to a flying start to his second NFL season last year, catching 24 passes for 288 yards and two touchdowns in his first three games. But in Week 4, after Patrick Mahomes had thrown an interception, the quarterback accidentally dived into Rice's leg as they were trying to make the tackle, tearing the lateral collateral ligament in his knee. Rice wound up missing the rest of the season, which culminated in a loss to Philadelphia in the Super Bowl. After spending the season rehabbing the injury, Rice was able to participate in the Chiefs' offseason program, and Reid said he would not be limited by the injury in training camp. That begins with testing and meetings on Tuesday, followed by the first full-squad workout on Wednesday, when temperatures are expected to hit triple digits. "We'll keep an eye on that," Reid said of Rice's knee injury. "As far as pulling back because of suspensions or whatever, you know, we're going forward. And then we'll monitor him as far as (the injury) goes." Reporting by The Associated Press. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?

Chiefs' Rashee Rice to participate in training camp despite jail sentence
Associated Press ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) — Rashee Rice will be a full participant in training camp, Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Sunday, three days after the standout wide receiver was sentenced to 30 days in jail after authorities said he and another speeding driver caused a chain-reaction crash that left multiple people injured on a Dallas highway last year. Whether he will be able to fully participate in the regular season remains to be seen. Reid said on the eve of camp beginning that he has not been told by the NFL whether Rice will serve a suspension, though it is widely expected. NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy acknowledged last week "we have been closely monitoring all developments in the matter which remains under review.'

Rice was driving a Lamborghini Urus SUV at 119 mph (191 kph) when he made 'multiple aggressive maneuvers around traffic' and struck other vehicles, prosecutors said. After the crash on North Central Expressway, prosecutors said, Rice failed to check on the welfare of those in the other vehicles and fled on foot.

And then we'll monitor him as far as (the injury) goes.' In other news, Reid said that cornerback Kristian Fulton and right tackle Jawaan Taylor — who are dealing with their own knee injuries — would begin the season alongside tight end Tre Watson on the physically unable-to-perform list. Fulton signed a two-year, $20 million contract to solidify the secondary while Taylor is expected to start at right tackle. Reid also said first-round pick Josh Simmons, who is coming off a torn patellar tendon at Ohio State, would not be limited at the start of training camp. The Chiefs hope that Simmons is able to prove he can handle the job at left tackle, where a rotating cast of characters was unable to protect Mahomes' blind side last season. With Taylor on the PUP list, the Chiefs will start with Simmons at left tackle and Jaylon Moore — who signed a two-year, $30 million deal in free agency — at right tackle. But it's possible that Moore could push Simmons for the starting job on the left side during training camp in what could be the biggest position battle for the defending AFC champions. "We evaluate these guys every day," Reid said. 'Whether it's a light practice or a hard day, they're evaluated, and graded, and so on. We'll see how it all sorts out.' ___ AP NFL: recommended Item 1 of 3

Steelers show T.J. Watt the love — and the money — with $123 million, three-year extension
Advertisement Chiefs WR gets 30 days in jail Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was sentenced to 30 days in jail after authorities said he and another speeding driver caused a chain-reaction crash on a Dallas highway last year. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Prosecutors say Rice was driving a leased Lamborghini Urus SUV at 119 miles per hour when he caused the March 2024 wreck. Multiple people were injured. On Thursday, Rice pleaded guilty to felony charges, including causing serious bodily injury. As part of a plea deal, he also received five years of deferred probation and must pay $115,000 for victims' medical expenses. In a statement, Rice apologized for the harm caused and pledged to make amends to those affected, saying he's had '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.' Advertisement Brian McCarthy, the NFL's vice president of communication, said in a statement, 'We have been closely monitoring all developments in the matter which remains under review.' The Chiefs did not have a comment. Chargers WR Williams retires Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams retired from the NFL at age 30. His agent, Tory Dandy , told general manager Joe Ortiz on Wednesday night, hours before the Chargers became the first NFL team to open training camp Thursday. Williams signed a $6 million, one-year deal in March but was placed on the physically unable to perform list Monday due to an undisclosed injury. Williams played eight NFL seasons, including stints with the Jets and Steelers, and had 330 career receptions and 32 touchdowns. 'It's obviously a tough situation,' quarterback Justin Herbert said. 'Football, at the end of the day, is a game and there's more to life than just football and I'm just hoping for the best for him.' Commanders sign DE Miller Von Miller is signing with the Commanders, with the NFL's active sacks leader joining the team roughly a week before training camp opens. Miller and the team have agreed on a one-year contract, according to a person familiar with the deal. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Wednesday night because the contract had not been announced. 'DC... What's good?' Miller posted on social media with an automated image of himself in a No. 24 Commanders unform. The 36-year-old edge rusher felt like he still had more to give after getting released by Buffalo in a salary cap-saving move in March. Injuries derailed his time with the Bills, limiting him to 11, 12 and 13 games each of the past three seasons. Advertisement Miller had six sacks last year to reach 129.5 in his professional career, which began with nearly a decade with Denver when he was a three-time Pro Bowl selection. He helped the Broncos win the Super Bowl and was MVP of that game, then won it again in the 2021 season with the Los Angeles Rams. Eagles' Braman, 38, dies Bryan Braman , a key special teams player for the Philadelphia Eagles' first Super Bowl championship team, has died from a rare and aggressive form of cancer. He was 38. Braman was diagnosed earlier this year and had multiple surgeries in recent months in an attempt to treat the illness. He died Thursday morning, according to a statement issued by the team. 'We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Bryan Braman,' the team said. 'During his four seasons in Philadelphia, Bryan was a loyal teammate, a supporter of the community, and a valuable member of our Super Bowl LII-winning team. More importantly, he was a devoted father who passionately loved his family and everyone around him. We extend our deepest condolences to Bryan's family and all who are grieving his loss during this difficult time.'

Chiefs' Rashee Rice gets 30-day jail sentence for high-speed crash
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice sustained a season-ending knee injury in Week 4 of the 2024-25 campaign. File Photo by David Tulis/UPI | License Photo July 17 (UPI) -- The Kansas City Chiefs' Rashee Rice received a 30-day jail sentence and five years' probation for his role in a 2024 crash, the Dallas County District Attorney's Office announced Thursday. "Last March, I was involved in a high-speed accident in Dallas," Rice said in a statement issued through his attorney. "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." Rice, 25, pleaded guilty to two third-degree felony charges, including collision involving serious bodily injury and racing on a highway causing bodily injury, on Thursday in the 194th Judicial District Court in Dallas. He is still subject to discipline, including a potential suspension, through the NFL's personal conduct policy. "We have been closely monitoring all developments in the matter which remains under review," the league said in a statement. Rice's charges stem from the crash that happened at about 6 p.m. local time March 30, 2024 during rush hour. Rice was found to have made aggressive maneuvers while driving a 2020 Lamborghini Urus SUV, which prosecutors said was traveling 119 mph 4.5 seconds before hitting the first of several vehicles. The collisions sparked a chain reaction that also impacted other vehicles. Rice then left the scene. Rice's plea agreement with the Dallas County District Attorney's Office includes a requirement for him to pay restitution totaling nearly $115,500 to all victims for their out-of-pocket medical expenses, in addition to his five years of deferred probation and 30-day jail sentence as a condition of the probation. "When someone of Mr. Rice's public platform chooses to drive so recklessly, there is a responsibility to acknowledge the danger posed to others and take accountability," district attorney John Creuzot said. "A vehicle in the wrong hands can be as dangerous as any weapon. We are extremely fortunate that no lives were lost that day, and Mr. Rice is fortunate to have walked away unharmed. "We hope he takes this as an opportunity to mature and leads by example moving forward. I wish him the best in making safer choices." Rice, 25, joined the Chiefs as a second-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. The former SMU star totaled 938 yards and eight scores during his rookie season. He also caught 26 passes for 262 yards and a score that postseason to help the Chiefs win a Super Bowl title. Rice totaled 24 catches for 288 yards and two scores over four starts in 2024-25. He sustained a season-ending knee injury in the Chiefs' Week 4 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Chiefs players will report for training camp Monday at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph.
