Chiefs' Rashee Rice Out for Season After Knee Surgery
The Kansas City wide receiver underwent successful LCL surgery, with a full recovery expected despite missing the rest of the 2024 season.
- Rashee Rice injured his knee during a game against the Los Angeles Chargers on September 29 when Patrick Mahomes accidentally collided with him.
- Initial fears of an ACL tear were unfounded, as surgery revealed only LCL and hamstring tendon damage, which were successfully repaired.
- Rice's recovery time is estimated at 3-4 months, effectively ending his current season, but doctors are optimistic about his long-term prognosis.
- With Rice leading the team in receptions, his absence leaves a significant gap in the Chiefs' offense, prompting potential trade considerations.
- Fans and team members, including the Chiefs' first lady, have expressed support and prayers for Rice's swift recovery.
