Overview
- The wideout is activated to face the Raiders on Sunday, marking his first regular-season game since Sept. 29, 2024.
- Andy Reid said Rice looked sharp in practice and is in good shape, but he will gauge the receiver’s reps in-game rather than commit to a snap count.
- Patrick Mahomes expects Rice will want to play every snap, while separate reporting has suggested he could be used full bore despite staff caution.
- Rice served a six-game personal-conduct suspension after pleading guilty to two felony charges tied to a 2024 Dallas crash, paid more than $115,000 in restitution, and still owes a 30-day jail term during five years of probation.
- Rice’s comments about overcoming adversity and a hype video drew criticism from fans and former quarterback Ryan Leaf as he returns to a receiver group featuring Xavier Worthy and Marquise Brown.
