Rashee Rice had recent knee surgery, won't be able to rehab while in jail
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice has been jailed for 30 days after his probation was revoked due to a positive THC test, causing him to miss the remainder of the offseason program.
- Rice had knee surgery last week to remove debris causing inflammation from a previous injury, but his incarceration will prevent him from participating in necessary rehab.
- Rice was unaware he would be sentenced for the probation violation at the time of his surgery.
- He previously served a six-game suspension in 2025 related to a March 2024 street-racing incident in Dallas.
- The probation terms likely prohibited marijuana use, and despite no additional time added to his sentence, Rice’s jail time will hinder his recovery and preparation for the upcoming contract year.
