Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice has been suspended for the first six games of the 2025 season.

According to ESPN, the NFL said on Wednesday that Rice accepted a six-game suspension for violating the personal conduct policy after he pleaded guilty to a 2024 Dallas crash. The suspension is without pay.

This means he will be eligible to return ahead of the game against the Las Vegas Raiders on October 19th in Week 7.

Rice was sentenced to 30 days in jail and five years' probation for his involvement in a crash that left multiple people hurt.

Rice will not appeal the suspension, according to ESPN. This will also cancel a hearing set for Sept. 30 at the NFL's headquarters in New York.
