Embattled Kansas City Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice is participating in the team's OTAs this week despite dealing with off-the-field issues.
Rashee Rice’s legal troubles did not stop him from participating in the Kansas City Chiefs’ offseason program. According to ESPN, Rice was present for the Chiefs’ full-squad offseason practice as well in an earlier part of the program which included Zoom meetings. Rice has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons following an impressive rookie season.
Rice surrendered himself to authorities on charges that included aggravated assault after he and another driver allegedly caused a large car crash on a Dallas highway in April. The 24-year-old was later released on bond. Police said Rice was driving a Lamborghini when it reached a top speed of 119 mph as his former SMU teammate, Theodore Knox, was driving a Corvette on North Central Expressway in Dallas at similar high speeds on March 30.
Then, while dealing with that run-in with the law, Rice was suspected of assault in a downtown Dallas nightclub, per the Dallas Morning News. However, police did not name Rice as a suspect in its report of the incident, according to the Associated Press. Because of these off-field issues, Rice is expected to face discipline from the NFL.
