Rashee Rice to Miss Two Months After Clean-Up Surgery on his Knee
A week before being ordered to serve 30 days in jail for violating his probation and testing positive for marijuana, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice (knee) had a clean-up surgery on his right knee to remove loose debris that was causing inflammation, league sources told Adam Schefter of ESPN. Rice is expected to be sidelined for two months. It's been quite the eventful day for news about Rice, who was expected to be KC's WR1 again in 2026 as he enters the final year of his rookie deal. Even if Rice was healthy, he wouldn't be available for the team's OTA practices later this month and for mandatory minicamp in early June because he'll be in jail, and the Chiefs' patience could be wearing thin. Health-wise, Rice should be fully recovered for the start of training camp this summer, but he could be facing another suspension from the NFL for violating the league's personal-conduct policy. If Rice isn't available for the start of the 2026 campaign, both Xavier Worthy and Tyquan Thornton would be the team's top pass-catchers for an offense that could be without quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) early on. Rice is now on tenuous ground as far as a WR1 in fantasy in redraft leagues in 2026.
