Chiefs WR Rashee Rice faces no NFL discipline over abuse allegations
ESPN • • sports
Key Points:
- The NFL concluded its investigation into Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice, finding insufficient evidence that he violated the league's personal conduct policy and deciding not to discipline him.
- The investigation stemmed from allegations by Rice's former girlfriend, Dacoda Jones, who accused him of abuse over several years and filed a lawsuit seeking over $1 million in damages.
- Jones posted photos of bruises in January 2025 and claimed Rice, the father of her children, assaulted her repeatedly, including strangulation in December 2023; Rice denies the allegations and his attorney cited a sworn affidavit denying physical assault.
- Rice was previously involved in a high-speed crash in March 2024 that injured multiple people; he pleaded guilty to felony charges related to the incident, served jail time, received probation, and was suspended six games by the NFL.
- Rice's legal case related to the crash is set for trial on June 9, while Jones' lawsuit against him continues in Texas courts.
