The Chiefs did not mention Rice by name in their statement and
said they would have “no further comment at this time.”
Dacoda Nichole Jones also did not mention Rice by name when she
posted a series of photos on Instagram earlier in the day that
appeared to show signs of physical abuse. Jones did say the
person involved was the father of her children, and the woman
has two children with Rice, whom the Chiefs selected in the
second round of the 2023 draft.
No police reports were available in the Kansas City suburb of
Overland Park, Kansas, where Jones alleges the abuse occurred.
Rice missed the first six games this season following an NFL
suspension for his role in causing a crash on a Dallas highway
that left multiple people injured during the 2024 offseason.
Rice was sentenced to 30 days in jail and five years' probation
after pleading guilty to third-degree felony charges of
collision involving serious bodily injury and racing on a
highway causing bodily injury.
Rice finished with 53 catches for 571 yards and five touchdowns
as Kansas City went 6-11 and missed the playoffs for the first
time in a decade.
