Kansas City Chiefs standout wide receiver Rashee Rice is expected to be out for the remainder of the season after more tests Monday revealed he injured his lateral collateral ligament.

According to a report from NFL Media, Rice met with Dr. Dan Cooper, who currently serves as the Dallas Cowboys team doctor and is "one of the nation's experts on knees."  [Related: Six WR trade targets for Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs ] The diagnosis was Rice needs his LCL repaired, contrary to previous reports that he tore his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).

That could put his recovery time at 3-4 months, essentially ending his season. Rice is expected to have surgery Tuesday, according to NFL Insider Ian Rapoport.

The Chiefs initially put Rice on injured reserve last week after he suffered a knee injury in Kansas City's 17-10 victory over the Chargers on Sept.
