Bolts From The Blue
In March 2024, Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was involved in a multi-car accident that led to him being chard with two third-degree felonies: collision involving serious bodily injury and racing on a highway causing bodily injury.
In July of this year, Rice was sentenced to 30 days in jail and five years’ probation. He plead guilty to the above charges. As of now, the case will be dismissed if he completes the probation.
On Thursday morning, NFL insider Adam Schefter reported that Rice is expected to have his disciplinary hearing with the NFL on September 30. This means that Rice will be able to play in the team’s first four regular season games before finding out his discipline handed down by the league. Of course, this ensures that — barring any further injuries — that Rice will likely be available for the Chiefs against the Chargers in Brazil for the season opener.
Rice is seemingly all the way back from a torn LCL in his right knee that ended his 2024 season after just four games. He had 24 catches for 288 yards and two scores prior to the injury.
