US EditionNFL Investigation Into Rashee Rice Abuse Allegations Ends with No Discipline
The league said there was insufficient evidence to find that Rice violated its personal conduct policy, leaving the civil lawsuit pending.
- On Friday, the NFL announced it concluded its investigation into Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice, determining he "has not engaged in conduct that violates the personal conduct policy" and imposing no discipline.
- The league's probe followed a civil lawsuit filed in February by former girlfriend Dakoda Jones, who alleged Rice repeatedly assaulted her during an 18-month span from 2023 to 2025, causing injuries including bruising and bleeding.
- In response, Rice's attorney Sean Lindsey released a statement citing a sworn affidavit from Jones, who stated under penalty of perjury, "Mr. Rice and I had a verbal argument, but he did not punch me."
- "Mr. Rice wants to thank the NFL for their thorough investigation, and looks forward to the start of the 2026-27 NFL season," Lindsey said in a statement.
- The decision arrives after Rice served a six-game suspension last season for a multi-vehicle crash, while the Chiefs organization declined to provide comment on the league's ruling.
