"The NFL is aiming for at least a six-game suspension for Rashee Rice for violating the league's personal conduct policy, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter, and wants the Kansas City Chiefs receiver to start serving the suspension at the beginning of the season. If such a punishment is agreed upon by both Rice and the league, his suspension would begin with the Chiefs' season opener on Sept. 5 against Los Angeles Chargers in Brazil."
"In July, Rice was sentenced to 30 days in jail and five years' probation for his role in the crash. Rice, 25, pleaded guilty in district court to two third-degree felony charges -- collision involving serious bodily injury and racing on a highway causing bodily injury. He received deferred adjudication, and the case will be dismissed if he completes the probation."
The NFL is pursuing at least a six-game suspension for Rashee Rice and wants the punishment to begin with the Chiefs' Sept. 5 season opener in Brazil. Rice is scheduled for a disciplinary hearing Sept. 30 in New York before disciplinary officer Sue L. Robinson. If Rice and the league do not agree on terms, Rice could play the first four weeks of the season before any discipline is imposed. In July, Rice was sentenced to 30 days in jail and five years' probation after pleading guilty to two third-degree felony charges, receiving deferred adjudication. Rice, 25, recorded 79 receptions for 938 yards and seven touchdowns in 2023 and suffered a season-ending LCL tear in Week 4 last season after 24 catches for 288 yards and two touchdowns. The Chiefs retained eight receivers on the roster, including Rice.
