Out of nowhere on the morning of Thursday, August 14, the Kansas City Chiefs and their fans received massive Rashee Rice suspension news courtesy of ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter.
“ESPN sources: Chiefs WR Rashee Rice is expected to have his disciplinary hearing with the NFL on Tuesday, Sept 30 in New York,” Schefter reported on X. “This means that Rice now is likely to be able to play the first four weeks of this season before any potential discipline is imposed for his role in a multi-car crash in Dallas during the 2024 offseason.”
In a follow-up post, Schefter then clarified: “With Rashee Rice’s hearing now on track for Sept. 30, this would make him eligible to play the first four weeks of the season with games against the [Los Angeles] Chargers in Brazil, the [Philadelphia] Eagles, at the [New York] Giants and the [Baltimore] Ravens.”
After Rice’s court sentencing was announced on July 17, many assumed the Chiefs star would be suspended to start the 2025 NFL season. However, if Schefter’s reporting is accurate, that is no longer the case.
