Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice has begun serving a 30-day sentence in the Dallas County jail just one week after undergoing surgery on his right knee, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
The surgery, which took place last week, was performed to address an injury to his right knee sustained during the 2024 NFL season. Rice will now be required to conduct his initial post-operative rehabilitation while in custody at the Dallas County facility. This period of incarceration is related to the ongoing legal fallout from a high-speed, multi-vehicle collision that occurred in Dallas earlier this year.
The 24-year-old receiver was a primary target for the Chiefs' offense prior to his injury. The team has not yet provided a specific timeline for his return to football activities, as the recovery process must now be managed alongside his legal obligations. Further details regarding the conditions of his rehabilitation while in jail have not been disclosed.
