The leading wide receiver for the Kansas City Chiefs might not be available to start the following season.

Six counts of collision involving injury, one count of collision involving serious bodily injury, and one count of aggravated assault have been brought against Rice.
Documents state that Rice collided with Theodore Knox’s Corvette while traveling at 119 mph in a Lamborghini SUV.
According to investigators, Rice and other individuals fled the scene of the collision without swapping insurance or making sure the other victims were okay.
In a social media message, Rice accepted “full responsibility” for his role in the collision.
He has been working out alongside Patrick Mahomes as part of the Chiefs offseason program, and he is taking part in virtual meetings.
Texas wide receiver Xavier Worthy is the Chiefs’ 2024 NFL Draft prospect of the day.
In the first two rounds of the NFL Draft, it is generally anticipated that the Chiefs will select a wide receiver. The requirement for such a role is exacerbated by the uncertainty surrounding Rice’s availability for the upcoming season.
