Rashee Rice to Be Virtual Participant for Chiefs' Offseason Program After Car Crash

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice will be a virtual participant in the team's start of offseason activities amid the fallout from a hit-and-run car crash last month, coach Andy Reid said Monday.

"I'm leaving that, like we've done most of these, for the law enforcement part to take place and then we will go from there with that," Reid told reporters.

Rice admitted to being the driver of a Lamborghini Urus police say was driving 119 mph before crashing into cars on a Dallas highway. A Corvette registered in Rice's name, which was being driven by SMU wide receiver Teddy Knox, was also involved in the crash.

At least seven people suffered injuries, though none were considered life-threatening. One woman suffered injuries that will cause her "a life of limited mobility and sight for an undetermined, extended period of time while she seeks treatment," according to an affidavit.

Rice was charged with aggravated assault, one count of collision involving serious bodily injury and six counts of collision involving injury.

"I take full responsibility for my part in this matter and will continue to cooperate with the necessary authorities," Rice wrote on Instagram. "I sincerely apologize to everyone impacted in Saturday's accident."

If convicted on all counts, Rice could face prison time. The NFL will also likely issue a punishment under its personal conduct policy, though that will come down after the case has been adjudicated.

Rice, a 2023 second-round pick out of SMU, recorded 79 receptions for 938 yards and seven touchdowns last season. He is expected to be the Chiefs' top receiver on the depth chart in 2024.
