Chiefs’ Rashee Rice had clean-up surgery on knee, sidelined ‘2 months’
Key Points:
- Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice received a 30-day jail sentence for violating probation, as revealed in Dallas County court documents.
- Rice underwent clean-up surgery on his right knee a week ago to remove debris causing inflammation, expected to sideline him for two months.
- The knee surgery was on the same knee severely injured during the 2024 season, impacting his rehabilitation timeline.
- Rice was unaware of the jail sentence at the time of his surgery, and his incarceration will limit access to athletic training and medical care during recovery.
- Due to the jail time and limited medical evaluation, Rice may be placed on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list, with a potential return during late July training camp.
