Chiefs' Rashee Rice Accepts 6-Game Ban for Role in High-Speed Crash

Rashee Rice accepted a six-game suspension starting 2025 after pleading guilty to two felonies linked to a 2024 Dallas crash causing injuries and receiving jail time and probation.

  • NFL Network reported Wednesday that Rashee Rice is accepting a six-game suspension from the NFL to start the 2025 season, making him eligible to return in Week 7 on Oct. 19 when the Chiefs host the Las Vegas Raiders at Arrowhead.
  • After pleading guilty to felony counts, Rashee Rice accepted 30 days in jail and five years of deferred probation for his role in the March 30, 2024 multi-vehicle crash in Dallas, Texas, which injured multiple victims.
  • The NFL had pushed for a longer suspension of 10 or more games, but a disciplinary hearing scheduled for September 30 before Sue L. Robinson was canceled due to a pre-hearing settlement.
  • The Chiefs will be without Rice for early matchups, missing six games including the opener in Brazil against the Los Angeles Chargers and forcing adjustments to Patrick Mahomes' receiver rotation.
  • Rice also reached financial settlements including a $1,086,000 civil settlement and roughly $115,000 in victims' medical expenses, with a Dallas County judge allowing him to choose when to serve his 30-day jail term.
