Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice has officially been suspended six games for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy.

The suspension stems from his two third-degree felony charges from a March 2024 crash on a Dallas highway. Rice was charged with collision involving serious bodily injury and racing on a highway causing bodily injury, which he pleaded guilty to last month. 

Rice is set to miss the team’s first six games of the year, starting with their season kickoff in Brazil against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Rice is not expected to appeal his suspension, which comes from the league after its own investigation into his criminal charges. As part of Rice’s plea agreement, he received five-year deferred probation and 30 days in jail as a condition of the probation. 

Rice’s jail time is said to be flexible, according to the Dallas County District Attorney's Office.

There was an arbitration hearing scheduled for Sept. 30 at the league’s headquarters in New York in front of federal Judge Sue L. Robinson to discuss the suspension. That date would’ve allowed Rice to play the first few weeks of the Chiefs’ season, but this suspension negates that now.
