Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice jailed for 30 days after probation violation and it could get worse

Rashee Rice will be suspended for multiple games following the 2024 multi-car crash. He will spend 30 days in jail and 5 years on probation. Nick Wright, Chris Broussard, and Kevin Wildes react to the news and what it means for the wide receiver’s future.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice is seemingly incapable of staying out of trouble during an NFL offseason, because he is in jail for violating his probation that he was sentenced to last offseason for a reckless driving charge from the 2024 offseason.

That is a lot of offseason mess-ups by Rice.

The latest came Tuesday when he was found to have tested positive for marijuana (THC) in violation of the July 2025 plea agreement that put him on five years probation and ordered him to serve 30 days in jail over a five-year span.

Rice was booked into Dallas County, Texas, jail on Tuesday and will serve his 30 days. He is scheduled for release on June 16.

The violation order sends Rice immediately to jail for the 30 days he was originally sentenced to serve within five years during his trial rather than add an extra 30 days. In last year's trial, Rice also had to pay a total of $115,481.91 in restitution to the crash victims for their out-of-pocket medical expenses.

With Rice in jail for the next 30 days, he will miss the remainder of the Chiefs OTAs (May 26-28 and June 1-3) and their mandatory minicamp on June 9-11.
