Chiefs WR Rashee Rice reportedly sentenced to 5 years probation, 30 days in jail after multi-car crash in Dallas
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice has been sentenced to five years probation and 30 days of jail time by a Dallas County judge, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. The sentence is related to Rice's role in a multi-car crash last April. Shortly after the incident, Rice's attorney confirmed that Rice was driving the Lamborghini that was involved in a hit-and-run in Dallas. Per Schefter, the 30 days of jail time can be served at any point during Rice's five years on probation; however, Rice received deferred adjudication, per Schefter, meaning that his case will be dismissed if he successfully completes probation. After the crash, Rice was sued for $1 million by the two people who were injured in the crash. That lawsuit was settled on Wednesday, according to Dallas County court records. As a result of the ruling, Rice will pay out $1 million to the two plaintiffs and will pay their lawyer's fees. The rulings open the NFL to discipline Rice directly. Rice is expected to receive a multi-game suspension that, per Schefter, the wide receiver is expected to serve this season. The Washington Post, however, reported that any decision to suspend is "not close to final" at this point. Shortly after the ruling, Rice's lawyer, Royce West, released a statement on Rice's behalf. "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, via Kansas City Star's Jesse Newell. "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 had a shortened 2025 season due to injury, going on injured reserve in early October. He underwent season-ending LCL surgery the next week. The 25-year-old receiver. participated in the Chiefs' voluntary OTAs last month, and returned to Kansas City this week for mandatory minicamp.
