Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice is currently facing a myriad of legal troubles, with eight felony charges stemming from a hit-and-run incident. The situation has only escalated as Rice is now being investigated for an alleged assault on a photographer at a Dallas nightclub.
Police are actively interviewing witnesses regarding the alleged assault and Rice may potentially face NFL suspension for violating the personal conduct policy. Despite these legal issues looming over him, Rice is still expected to play a key role in the Chiefs’ passing attack.
This isn’t the first time Rice has found himself in trouble with the law, as he was previously involved in a street racing incident in March that resulted in a six-car accident. The Chiefs organization has had its fair share of high-profile players facing off-field troubles in recent years.
Despite his legal troubles, Rice did not show up for the start of the Chiefs’ offseason program but instead participated in meetings virtually. It remains to be seen how these legal issues will impact Rice’s future with the team and in the NFL. Stay tuned to KP Insider for the latest updates on this developing story.
