Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid confirmed that wideout Rashee Rice will miss all organized team activities this week after beginning a 30‑day jail sentence in Dallas. The suspension stems from a probation violation tied to a 2024 highway crash that injured several people. Rice’s absence leaves the Chiefs without their No. 1 receiver during OTAs and the June 9‑11 mandatory minicamp, early release on June 16.

A week before his sentencing, Rice underwent right‑knee arthroscopy to clear debris causing inflammation, a procedure that will sideline him for roughly two months. Reid said the team has spoken with the league and expects no further NFL discipline, but stresses the need to get Rice “caught up” once he returns to training camp. He must show his route running matches pre‑injury standards.

Rice previously pleaded guilty to two third‑degree felonies and received a six‑game league suspension last season. With the season approaching, his delayed return compresses the Chiefs’ timeline to integrate him into the offense. Reid’s message is clear: the team will work him back into the official roster before the regular season opener.
