Chiefs
Chiefs WR Rashee Rice is already back to sprinting in his rehab from a season-ending knee injury, with HC Andy Reid commenting on the recoveries of Rice and TE Jared Wilby.
“I can’t necessarily give you the [return date],” Reid said, via Pete Sweeney of arrowheadpride.com. “They’re doing well. That’s taking place right now, but I can’t tell you when they will be back exactly here. Both have been busting their tail. They’re running, which is good. We’ll just see how it goes going forward here. We don’t have them here on the field right now with us, so we’ve got to see the football part of it as we go.”
