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.
