Chiefs' Rashee Rice Undergoes Knee Surgery, Out for Season
Kansas City Chiefs' wide receiver Rashee Rice faces a lengthy recovery after surgery on his right knee, with a return timeline similar to ACL recovery.
- Rashee Rice's injury occurred during a Week 4 game against the Los Angeles Chargers when he collided with quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
- The surgery was to repair the posterolateral corner of Rice's right knee, not the ACL as initially feared.
- Rice is expected to miss the remainder of the 2024 NFL season, with recovery potentially extending into next year's training camp.
- The Chiefs have been managing multiple injuries, including those to Marquise Brown and Isiah Pacheco, while remaining one of two unbeaten teams in the NFL.
- To bolster their lineup, the Chiefs have re-signed JuJu Smith-Schuster and Kareem Hunt, both of whom made significant contributions in their recent win over the New Orleans Saints.
