Chiefs WR Rashee Rice Exits Game Against the Raiders with Hamstring Injury
Rice pulled up after a catch and is listed as questionable to return, with early reports saying the hamstring injury could sideline him for weeks.
On Sunday, October 4, 2026, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice suffered a hamstring injury during the first quarter against the Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium.
Entering Week 4 with 13 catches for 190 yards, Rice had re-established himself as a vital offensive weapon for quarterback Patrick Mahomes after missing significant time in previous seasons.
Rice pulled up during a first-quarter catch-and-run, grabbing his left leg before hobbling to the sideline, where he consulted with head athletic trainer Rick Burkholder.
The Chiefs officially listed Rice as questionable to return with the hamstring injury, though reports suggest he could miss several weeks, significantly impacting Kansas City's receiving options.
With Rice sidelined, Kansas City will likely rely more heavily on Travis Kelce, Xavier Worthy, and running back Kenneth Walker III to carry the offensive load for the remainder of 2026.
