Rice had been under investigation by Dallas
police after a photographer was injured outside of a Dallas
nightclub on May 5.
According to NFL Network, the photographer filed an affidavit
with police saying it was a "misunderstanding" and requesting
all charges to be dropped.
Rice, 24, is participating in the Chiefs' voluntary offseason
activities this week as he continues to navigate legal issues
from two separate incidents.
When the alleged nightclub assault took place, Rice already was
in trouble in Dallas for his connection to a six-car crash on
March 30. He 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 tight end Travis Kelce in catches (79)
and receiving yards (938) among the Chiefs pass catchers as a
rookie in 2023. He led the Super Bowl champions with seven
receiving touchdowns.
