Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice spent 30 days in a Texas jail earlier this summer for violating the terms of his probation, following his involvement in a car crash that left several people injured. Rice, 26, called the experience a "learning experience" and a "reality check," which helped him rehab from recent knee surgery and kept his spirits up by watching comedian Kevin Hart on TV.
He was released from Dallas County jail in June and immediately resumed rehab alongside Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes at their training facility in Kansas City. While Rice has been elite for the Chiefs, contributing 156 receptions for 1,797 yards and 14 touchdowns, his availability has been limited by knee injuries and suspensions stemming from the car crash. The upcoming season is critical for Rice, as it is for the team.
