Monday is the start of the Chiefs' Phase 3 of
OTAs, bringing together rookies and veterans.
Rice, 24, is accused of assaulting a photographer at a Dallas
nightclub earlier this month. The photog was taken to a hospital
with non-life-threatening injuries.
The wide receiver, who grew up in the Dallas area and played for
SMU, was already in trouble in the city for his connection to a
six-car crash on March 30. Rice turned himself in to police
several days later and faces one count of aggravated assault,
one count of collision involving serious bodily injury and six
counts of collision involving injury.
Seven people were left with injuries, including at least one
woman who sustained "serious bodily injury" and another who was
stranded on the highway with her 4-year-old son for about five
hours after the crash.
The Chiefs are bracing for a multi-game suspension for Rice,
ESPN previously reported. The team and the league are waiting
for the legal process to play out on both incidents.
Rice was second only to Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce in catches
(79) and receiving yards (938) as a rookie in 2023. He led the
Super Bowl champions with seven receiving touchdowns.
