Overview

  • The NFL transaction log shows Kansas City removed Rashee Rice from the suspension list on Oct. 13, making him eligible to practice and to play against the Raiders in Week 7.
  • To create a roster spot, the Chiefs waived wide receiver Jason Brownlee, a move that signals Rice is expected to be available on Sunday.
  • Rice completed a six-game ban for violating the NFL personal conduct policy that was announced on Aug. 27 in connection with a 2024 multi-car crash in Dallas.
  • He pleaded guilty in July to two third-degree felony charges and received deferred adjudication with a 30-day jail term and probation, with dismissal possible if he meets the terms.
  • Andy Reid noted Rice has been working out during his limited facility access, and Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce publicly expressed enthusiasm for his return to the offense.
