US EditionRashee Rice to Play First Game for Chiefs in More than a Year After Suspension
Kelce supports Rice despite backlash as Rice returns after a six-game suspension for a felony car crash that required over $115,000 in restitution, Dallas authorities said.
- Rashee Rice, Chiefs wide receiver, trained through Monday–Friday and on Sunday, and recently played after missing six games, with no mention of suspension or penalties.
- Following the wreck, Rice pleaded guilty to two felony charges and paid over $115,000 in restitution, with a 30‑day jail term during five years of probation, the Dallas prosecutor's office said.
- After tearing his ACL in Week 4 last year, Rashee Rice recovered in time for the offseason program and training camp, working out Monday through Friday with extra Sunday sessions.
- With receivers like Xavier Worthy, Marquise Brown and JuJu Smith‑Schuster on hand, Kansas City Chiefs can avoid rushing Rashee Rice back, though Andy Reid declined to confirm a snap count.
- Rice declined to discuss his legal issues and said he preferred to focus solely on football, adding over the past year‑plus he learned he loves the game and relied on teammates for support.
