Rashee Rice Suspension Update Reveals Timeline Details
Rashee Rice Suspension Update Reveals Timeline Details originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice will be reportedly ready to go for training camp, according to head coach Andy Reid. Advertisement Rice is dealing with rehab from a season-ended knee injury suffered in Week 4 last season. Off the field, Rice has other things he's dealing with, too. There is an ongoing investigation into Rice's involvement in a high-speed vehicle crash in Dallas last year. Rice reportedly fled the scene without determining if anyone involved needed medical attention or providing his information, according to the police. Rice has come clean in the time since, taking full responsibility for the chain-reaction collision that also included another speeding sports car. Many expect some consequences to be handed out, as Rice is facing allegedly eight felony charges. However, the NFL will not hand out any punishments until the case is closed with the Dallas PD first. Advertisement According to NBC Sports' Pro Football Talk, that timeline is uncertain. There has not currently been any new evidence that would expedite a decision by the NFL to issue a suspension. Paid leave is also an option, but the league has already decided to not use it in Rice's case. The initial plan was for Rice to continue through the 2024 season, then be handed the league-issued suspension following the case being settled. His knee injury halted that idea and delayed much of the Dallas PD investigation, which has pushed everything back to where we are now. Once the charges are handled with the police, the NFL will still need time to go through the proper steps of the Personal Conduct Policy to ensure a fair punishment. Advertisement That process could stretch deep into the regular season, even if Rice's prosecution concludes today. For now, the SMU product will prepare for his third season with the Chiefs and prove that he is healthy enough to return to his stellar rookie-year from before the injury. In 2023, Rice burst onto the scene with 938 receiving yards and seven touchdowns.

Chiefs Get 'Good' Training Camp Update on Injured Stars
Chiefs Get 'Good' Training Camp Update on Injured Stars originally appeared on Athlon Sports. As the Kansas City Chiefs approach the end of mandatory minicamp, fans have received some good news about two impactful pieces on the offense. Advertisement According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, head coach Andy Reid says he expects rookie offensive tackle Josh Simmons and breakout wide receiver Rashee Rice to both be full participants at the start of training camp. Simmons could be poised to make an instant impact in the starting lineup protecting quarterback Patrick Mahomes' blindside. Kansas City traded left tackle Joe Thuney to the Chicago Bears this offseason, opening up a spot for their first-round draft pick out of Ohio State. Simmons may have slipped to the bottom of the first round because he is recovering from a torn patellar tendon suffered during the Buckeyes' march to the national championship last fall. "Simmons appears to be checking every box in his rehab, including participating in team drills this month. And his work ethic consistently draws praise from Andy Reid," wrote. Advertisement Rice returns to Kansas City for his third season after being the team's second-round pick in 2023. He had an excellent rookie season with 938 yards receiving and seven touchdowns, but did not enjoy the same luck last season. The SMU product only appeared in four games before suffering a season-ending knee injury. Rice has already shown great strides in his recovery, being a full participant in OTAs and minicamp this offseason. Off the field, Rice remains involved in an investigation related to a hit-and-run incident from 2024. League-issued consequences could still be possible for the young receiver. However, the Chiefs expect him to be an integral part of their passing attack alongside Hollywood Brown and Xavier Worthy when he is active. Advertisement Rice was on pace to pick up where left off before his injury, having brought in two touchdown catches and 288 yards through the first quarter of last season. On their quest for what would be their fourth consecutive Super Bowl appearance, Reid and the Chiefs are hoping the health of both Simmons and Rice at training camp allows for the offense to be as potent as it always is heading into 2025.

Rashee Rice won't be suspended until criminal case ends
With Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice in the news this week, both for his own comments about the team's offense in 2025 and comments regarding whether he'll be ready to go when the season starts, several have asked about the status of Rice's unresolved criminal charges for last year's speed racing incident in Dallas. He has yet to be suspended by the league, despite facing (at last word) eight felony charges. That's because the league won't take action until the criminal case ends. The case has not ended. It's not clear when it will. Regardless, the league will do nothing until it does. And while paid leave is an option, the league has already decided not to use it in Rice's case. New evidence could change the league's position; however, nothing has happened yet to change the status quo. At the outset of the 2024 season, the plan was for Rice to get through the 2024 season, resolve the criminal case and take his NFL punishment in the offseason, serve any suspension to start 2025, and move on with his career. Possibly after doing enough in 2024 to merit a significant contract following the 2025 season, which will be his third in the league. The knee injury changed everything. The delayed prosecution allows him to keep playing. Even if the case against Rice ended today, time would be required for the league's procedures under the Personal Conduct Policy to unfold. Up to and including a hearing before Judge Sue Robinson. There's a chance Rice will get through all of the 2025 season before he's suspended. For now, the situation remains vague. And it will stay that way until his prosecution is resolved. Until it is, Rice's goal will be to show that he's healthy and to continue to build upon the promise he showed in his rookie year. If he plays all of 2025 and plays well, he likely will have laid the foundation for his second contract.
