Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs offense have missed wide receiver Rashee Rice during their 2-3 start to the 2025 NFL season.
By the end of his rookie season in 2023, Rice looked poised to become Mahomes’ top wideout. His seven receiving touchdowns led the team, and he tacked on 26 catches for 262 yards and a score during the Chiefs’ postseason march to a Super Bowl LVIII victory. His upward trajectory was halted in 2024 when he suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 4.
The long absence continued when Rice accepted a six-game suspension on Aug. 27 for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy, resulting from a league investigation into his role in a multicar crash in Dallas that left multiple people injured during the 2024 offseason.
Rashee Rice Makes Rare Social Media Post
With his Week 7 return against the Las Vegas Raiders nearing, Rice sparked excitement by returning to social media for his first public post since the suspension began.
“Everybody Gotta Eat,” he wrote on X.
