Rashee Rice to face NFL disciplinary hearing
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice will appear before the NFL for a disciplinary hearing on Tuesday, September 30 in New York. Sources informed Alofoke Deportes on Thursday.
This process indicates that Rice could participate in the first four games of the season before any sanction is determined for his involvement in a multiple-vehicle car accident in Dallas, which occurred during the 2024 offseason.
The Chiefs will kick off the NFL season against the Los Angeles Chargers in Brazil, followed by matchups with the Philadelphia Eagles, New York Giants, and Baltimore Ravens in the first four weeks.
Last month, Rice was sentenced to 30 days in jail and five years of probation for his involvement in the multiple-vehicle car accident.
Rice, 25, pleaded guilty in district court to two counts of third-degree felony: collision involving serious bodily injury and racing on a highway that caused bodily injury. Rice received a deferred adjudication. The case will be dismissed if he completes probation.
In his rookie season in 2023, the receiver had 79 receptions for 938 yards and seven touchdowns. His 2024 season ended after four games due to a torn lateral collateral ligament in his right knee. In those four games, he accumulated 24 receptions for 288 yards and two touchdowns.
