Fans of the Kansas City Chiefs want an injury update on Rashee Rice after the wide receiver’s recent setback. Following a recent incident during the Chiefs’ game, fans are curious about the severity of his injury and its potential impact on the rest of his season.
Here is an update on Rashee Rice’s injury.
How did Rashee Rice get injured?
Rashee Rice’s injury occurred in Sunday’s game in an unexpected collision with his quarterback, Patrick Mahomes. After Tennessee Titans cornerback Kristian Fulton intercepted Mahomes, he and Rice rushed to contain the play. As Mahomes dove to make a tackle, he inadvertently slammed into Rice’s right knee.
The impact sent Rice to the ground in obvious pain. Rice was initially helped to the sideline, but the medical team quickly brought a cart to take him to the locker room. While lying on the cart, Rice kept a towel over his face and hands on his head.
Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid shared his concern at halftime, stating, “It’s not good,” when asked about Rice’s condition. Following the game, Reid admitted that while they were hoping for positive news, the outlook for Rice’s 2024 season appeared grim. “I feel terrible for Rashee,” he added. (via Fox News)
The Chiefs will have Rice undergo an MRI to determine the full extent of the damage. However, the fear is that he has torn his ACL, which could potentially end his season.
When could Rashee Rice return and play again?
Rashee Rice’s return to the NFL remains uncertain due to a combination of a knee injury and off-field legal issues. The team fears he may have suffered a torn ACL, which could potentially end his season. Rice is awaiting MRI results to confirm the extent of the damage, leaving his return timeline unclear.
Additionally, Rice is facing legal trouble stemming from a high-speed car crash in Texas earlier this year. He is awaiting trial on several charges. Depending on the outcome of the legal process, Rice could face disciplinary action from the NFL, further delaying his return to the field.
