Last year, Rice opened the 2024 campaign with 24 catches for 288 yards and two scores in his first four games (72 yards per game), before a Week 4 LCL tear ended his season.<\/p>\n<p>After offseason surgery and months of rehabilitation, Rice returned to training camp at &#8220;full speed ahead,&#8221;\u00a0per coach Andy Reid.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"ac_104384852\" class=\"article_chunk type_50\">\n<div class=\"froala-view custom-theme \">\n<p>However, Rice\u2019s on-field story has been overshadowed by a high-speed hit-and-run in Dallas during the 2024 offseason.<\/p>\n<p>Video footage showed the SMU product street-racing a Lamborghini at speeds exceeding 115 mph before colliding with multiple vehicles and fleeing the scene.<\/p>\n<p>He ultimately pleaded guilty to two third-degree felonies, racing on a highway and an accident causing serious bodily injury, and agreed to pay $1 million in restitution.<\/p>\n<p>A Dallas County judge sentenced him to five years\u2019 probation and 30 days of jail time, which he may serve at any point during that probationary period.<\/p>\n<p>Under the NFL\u2019s Personal Conduct Policy, such a plea opened the door to league discipline. While the NFL has not formally announced a penalty, insiders expect a suspension in the range of two to six games.<\/p>\n<p><em>Rice told ESPN on August 2 that he has yet to receive word from the NFL on timing or length of any discipline, saying, &#8220;Honestly, it\u2019s still in the works&#8230; <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>My legal team is handling that.
