Chiefs Wide Receiver Rashee Rice Attends OTAs Amidst Offseason Incidents
Rashee Rice, the Kansas City Chiefs' second-year wide receiver, has reportedly attended and participated in the team's Organized Team Activities (OTAs) despite facing multiple off-field incidents this offseason. Rice was involved in a high-speed car crash in Dallas back in March and is also under investigation for an alleged assault at a local nightclub earlier this month.
According to reports, Rice was driving his Lamborghini SUV at approximately 119 mph on a highway with a speed limit of 70 mph when he lost control of the vehicle, causing a six-car pileup. The incident resulted in eight felony charges for Rice, including aggravated assault and collision involving serious bodily injury.
Rice is also under investigation for an alleged assault at a Dallas nightclub earlier this month. No charges have been filed in connection to the nightclub incident as of yet.
The NFL is expected to issue a suspension for Rice following these incidents, but no decision has been made public as of now.
Despite the ongoing legal proceedings, Rice participated in OTAs alongside his teammates. The Chiefs have added depth at the wide receiver position by signing Marquise Brown in free agency and drafting Xavier Worthy with their first-round pick.
Rice finished his rookie season with 79 receptions for 938 yards and seven touchdowns, leading the Chiefs' wide receivers in all three categories. The team is hoping to build on that success as they prepare for the upcoming season.
