When will Rashee Rice be back from suspension?
Rashee Rice will return in Week 7.
The NFL handed him a six-game suspension before the season, and the Chiefs have played each of the first six weeks without a bye, so that covers Rice's time out.
He was suspended for six games after speeding to cause a chain-reaction crash that injured multiple people. He was sentenced to 30 days in jail and five years of probation.
Rice was a star as a rookie, catching 79 passes for 938 yards and seven touchdowns in 2023.
He only made it to Week 4 in 2024 before a season-ending injury on a fluky collision. He had 24 catches for 288 yards and two touchdowns in less than four full games in 2024.
The Chiefs' Week 7 game is Sunday at 1 p.m. ET. They host the in an AFC West game.
Rice will have to fit back into a receiving corps that includes Xavier Worthy, Hollywood Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Tyquan Thornton.
It might take a week, but when Rice is fully up to speed, he'll be WR1 for Kansas City, just in time to try and boost their season.
