On July 17, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was sentenced to five years of probation and 30 days of jail time for his role in a multi-car crash in Dallas during the 2024 offseason. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Rice will likely serve a multi-game suspension.

A Dallas County judge sentenced Rice, who can serve his jail sentence during the five-year probation. The crash happened on March 30, 2024, when Rice, who was driving a Lamborghini, was racing Theodore Knox, who was driving a Corvette. Rice reportedly told police he lost control of his vehicle, which caused a crash involving six cars.

Although he has been dealing with these legal issues, he is still taking part in the Kansas City Chiefs’ training camp, just a month away from the beginning of the 2025 regular season. During a media opportunity on Friday, head coach Andy Reid hilariously made a speeding pun when referring to Rice, whether it was intended or not.

“He’s done a nice job off the field and nice job on the field,” Reid said. “Sometimes you learn from your mistakes so that’s the important part. You’ve got all of that, and then on the field he’s just been full speed ahead. No pun intended.”

Rashee Rice missed most of the 2024 season

Rice is looking to bounce back in 2025 after missing the majority of the 2024 season due to LCL and hamstring injuries. He played in four games last year and caught 24 passes for 288 yards and two touchdowns. 

Rice suffered the injury after colliding with quarterback Patrick Mahomes. “When I saw the replay, I felt like s**t that I hit Rashee,” Mahomes said in October, per ESPN. “I wasn’t really worried about myself. I was worried about his injury and hopefully that it wasn’t as bad as it looked. I was the one that hit him.

“I didn’t notice it in the moment. I was more worried about trying to get the ball. Obviously, he’s just trying to make a play, and it happens whenever you’re trying to make tackles.”

The Chiefs selected Rice in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft. In his rookie season, Rice caught 79 passes for 938 yards and seven touchdowns in 16 regular-season games. He helped the Chiefs win the Super Bowl, catching six passes for 39 yards in a 25-22 win over the San Francisco 49ers.
