What Happened to Rashee Rice? NFL Injury Update

As a long-time Kansas City Chiefs fan who’s seen my share of injuries and ups and downs, I can’t help but feel a pang of disappointment upon hearing about Rashee Rice‘s recent setback. The guy had just started to show some real promise on the field, and now it looks like his season might be over before it even truly began.


Fans of the Kansas City Chiefs are eager for news regarding Rashee Rice’s current health status, following his recent setback in a game. They are keen to understand the extent of his injury and how it might affect the remainder of his playing season.

Here is an update on Rashee Rice’s injury.

How did Rashee Rice get injured playing football?

Rashee Rice sustained an injury during Sunday’s game due to an unforeseen clash with his quarterback, Patrick Mahomes. After Tennessee Titans cornerback Kristian Fulton intercepted Mahomes, they both attempted to stop the play. In the process, Mahomes accidentally ran into Rice’s right knee as he was diving to make a tackle.

The impact sent Rice to the ground in obvious pain. Rice was initially helped to the sideline, but the medical team quickly brought a cart to take him to the locker room. While lying on the cart, Rice kept a towel over his face and hands on his head.

At halftime, Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid expressed his worries about Rice’s health when someone asked about his condition, saying simply, “It’s not good.” After the game ended, Coach Reid confessed that although they had hoped for better news, Rice’s prospects for playing in the 2024 season seemed bleak. He also sympathized with Rice, saying, “I feel awful for Rashee.” (paraphrased from Fox News)

The Chiefs plan to use an MRI scan to assess the complete severity of the injury suffered by Rice. There’s concern that he may have ruptured his Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL), a possibility that might mean the end of his season for him.

When will Rashee Rice return to play NFL?

Rashee Rice’s comeback to professional football is still up in the air due to both a knee injury and legal troubles off the field. There’s concern that he might have torn his ACL, which could mean an early end to his season if this is confirmed. Rice is currently waiting for the results of an MRI scan to determine the exact nature of the injury, leaving us unsure about when he may return.

Beyond this, Rice has found himself entangled in legal issues following a high-speed car accident in Texas recently. He’s currently awaiting trial on multiple charges. The resolution of these legal matters may result in NFL discipline against him, potentially prolonging his absence from the game.
