The Chiefs will be without one of their star wide receivers after Rashee Rice tested positive for THC on Tuesday, thus violating the conditions of his parole, resulting in a 30-day jail sentence.
Rice was booked into the Dallas (Texas) County Jail and will remain there until June 16.
Rice pleaded guilty in July of 2025 in a Dallas court to two third-degree felony charges of collision involving serious bodily injury and racing on a highway causing bodily injury for an accident that occurred in March of that year. Police testified that he had been traveling at 119 mph in a Lamborghini SUV ahead of the accident.
The courts stated that Rice could serve his 30-day sentence at any time during his five-year probationary period.
The NFL suspended Rice for the first six games of the 2025 season after determining that he had violated the league’s personal conduct policy.
The NFL issued a brief statement on the incident obtained via CBS Sports’ Jonathan Jones.
“We are aware of the report and will decline further comment at this time,” the league said.
