Rice (hamstring) will be out for Sunday's game at Seattle, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.
With Rice set to miss another game, the Chiefs are left with Xavier Worthy as their top wide receiver. Rice still hasn't returned to practice and thus seems in danger of missing time beyond Week 7.

Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Not spotted at practice Friday
Rotowire
Rice (hamstring/knee) was not present during the portion of Friday's practice open to the media, Pete Sweeney of The Kansas City Star reports.
Rice hasn't practiced since going down with his hamstring injury in Week 4 against the Raiders, so he's going to miss Sunday's game against the Seahawks. Xavier Worthy, Jalen Royals, Cyrus Allen and Nikko Remigio are on the 53-man roster at wide receiver, but the Chiefs elevated both Andrew Armstrong and Justin Watson last Sunday against the Chargers.
Rice (hamstring/knee) did not practice Thursday.
Rice has yet to resume practicing since sustaining a hamstring injury during Kansas City's Week 4 win over the Raiders. He's also dealing with a knee injury, so Rice looks likely to remain sidelined Sunday night against the Seahawks. Rice would likely need to practice in some capacity Friday to avoid being ruled out.

Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Won't practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Head coach Andy Reid said that Rice (hamstring) won't practice Wednesday, Nate Taylor of ESPN.com reports.
Rice emerged from the first quarter of the Chiefs' Week 4 win at Las Vegas with a hamstring injury, but even with the benefit of a Week 5 bye, he hasn't been able to practice in the meantime. He likely will need to mix into drills Thursday and/or Friday to have a chance to return to action Sunday in Seattle.

Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Will miss Week 6
Rotowire
Rice (hamstring/knee) will not play Sunday against the Chargers, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.
It was thought that Rice could avoid missing time after injuring his hamstring in Week 4, but he was not ready to practice coming out of Kansas City's Week 5 bye, and he will wind up sidelined for Sunday's contest. With Rice unavailable, Xavier Worthy, Jalen Royals and Cyrus Allen will be the top options at the receiver spot for Patrick Mahomes in Week 6.

Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Sidelined for practice again
Rotowire
Rice (hamstring) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.
Coming out of the Chiefs' Week 5 bye, Rice has been a spectator for both of the team's first two practices of the week while he continues to recover from the hamstring injury he sustained in an Oct. 4 win over the Raiders. Kansas City hasn't yet closed the door on Rice suiting up Sunday against the Chargers, but he'll almost certainly need to practice in some capacity Friday to put himself on a path to play.

Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Suffers hamstring injury
Rotowire
Rice officially sustained a hamstring injury during Sunday's contest at Las Vegas.
Rice grabbed at his hamstring at the end of a seven-yard catch that was negated due to a penalty on the Raiders defense, limping to the sideline before the Chiefs ruled him questionable to return. For as long as Rice is off the field, Xavier Worthy, Tyquan Thornton, Jalen Royals and Cyrus Allen figure to pick up the slack in the WR corps.

Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Departs Sunday's contest
Rotowire
Rice suffered an apparent hamstring injury during Sunday's game in Las Vegas, James Palmer of Bleacher Report reports.

Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Target share continues to trend up
Rotowire
Rice caught seven of nine targets for 88 yards in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Dolphins.
Rice was the only Kansas City pass catcher with more than three targets, and he paced the team in receiving yards as well, but Patrick Mahomes' two touchdown passes went to Kenneth Walker and Travis Kelce. Rice's target total has climbed from two in Week 1 to six in Week 2 and now nine in Week 3, so his usage has been trending in the right direction ahead of a Week 4 road game against the Raiders. He averaged 9.8 targets per game in eight appearances last season.

Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Robust yardage total in OT win
Rotowire
Rice brought in four of six targets for 83 yards in the Chiefs' 33-30 overtime win over the Colts on Sunday night.
Rice finished with the Chiefs' third-highest receiving yardage total and turned in a 31-yard grab along the way. The 2023 second-round pick's boost in production was a welcome sight for fantasy managers after he'd managed a 2-19-1 line in Week 1, and given Patrick Mahomes already looks close to full health after last December's season-ending knee injury, Rice's outlook as Kansas City's No. 1 receiver should only get brighter as the season unfolds. Rice and the rest of the Chiefs' offense is in a premium spot in Week 3, as they'll pay a visit to the winless Dolphins next Sunday.

Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Gets in end zone to start season
Rotowire
Rice brought in both targets for 19 yards and a touchdown in the Chiefs' 31-10 win over the Broncos on Monday night.
Rice was on the receiving end of Patrick Mahomes' first touchdown pass of the season, doing all the work on a 13-yard scoring grab off a wide-receiver screen late in the first half that saw him break multiple tackles. Rice was quiet otherwise, but he did deliver excellent downfield blocking on Travis Kelce's game-long 59-yard catch in the third quarter. Mahomes connected on just five occasions with Rice and fellow starting wideout Xavier Worthy on Monday night, but that volume could certainly increase in a favorable Week 2 home matchup Sunday night against a Colts defense that was exposed in every facet by the Ravens in Week 1.

Chiefs' Rashee Rice: No further discipline expected, per NFL Insider
Rotowire
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said Rice is unlikely to face NFL discipline for his probation violation this spring, Charles Goldman of AtoZ Sports reports.
The report notes that Rice's return from arthroscopic knee surgery is a bigger concern for the Chiefs right now, with the wideout perhaps not yet in game shape after being eased into drills in training camp. He probably won't play much this preseason, if at all, but Rice still has a month to get ready for a starting role in Week 1 against Denver.

Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Joins 11-on-11 drills
Rotowire
Rice (knee) is participating in 11-on-11 drills at Wednesday's practice, Nate Taylor of ESPN.com reports.
Per Taylor, it's the first time in training camp that the wideout has done so, as he continues to work his way back from an offseason knee procedure. It remains to be seen how much, if any, preseason action Rice sees, but assuming he experiences no setbacks ahead of Week 1, he's slated to maintain his key role as a starter in a Chiefs' WR corps that also features Xavier Worthy (shoulder), with Tyquan Thornton, Jalen Royals and Cyrus Allen (shin) also in the mix for targets that don't go to the top duo.

Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Poised to practice
Rotowire
Rice (knee) has been cleared to practice ahead of training camp, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
The wideout is recovering from a minor clean-up surgery undergone in May on his right knee, but he'll be able to take the field once the Chiefs resume practicing. Looking ahead, Rice is slated to work as a key pass-catching option in the team's offense alongside fellow WR Xavier Worthy for QB Patrick Mahomes (knee), who has also been cleared to practice, per coach Andy Reid. While Rice is available for training camp, there could be risk down the road for an NFL suspension stemming from a probation violation that resulted in him serving a 30-day sentence in jail this offseason. Rice is coming off a 2025 regular season in which he recorded a 53-571-5 line on 78 targets in eight contests.

Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Released from jail
Rotowire
Rice (knee) has been released from Dallas County Jail on Tuesday after serving his 30-day sentence for violating probation with a positive THC test, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Kansas City head coach Andy Reid said last Thursday that he expects Rice to be ready for the start of training camp in July. The fourth-year wide receiver is recovering from a minor clean-up surgery undergone in May on his right knee, and while in jail he was able to both rehab and maintain communication with the team. He was unable to attend mandatory minicamp, however. It's possible that Rice could still face league discipline as a result of his probation violation, but he appears on track to be fully healthy in advance of the regular season.

Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Not yet practicing
Rotowire
Head coach Andy Reid said that Rice (concussion) won't participate in Tuesday's practice, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
Rice hasn't practiced in any fashion since reporting concussion symptoms following Kansas City's Week 15 loss to the Chargers. Given that he's unlikely to clear the five-step concussion protocol prior to Thursday's matchup with the Broncos, Rice looks on track to miss a second straight game.

Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Remains sidelined Thursday
Rotowire
Rice (concussion) won't practice Thursday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
Rice will sit out a second consecutive practice Thursday, having also missed Wednesday's session after reporting concussion symptoms Monday. To have any chance at clearing the NFL's five-step concussion protocol prior to Sunday's game against the Titans, Rice would have to upgrade to full participation Friday and gain clearance from an independent neurologist, so his chances of suiting up Sunday look slim. Xavier Worthy could work as the top wide receiver for a Chiefs team that has been eliminated from playoff contention and will start Gardner Minshew at quarterback.

Chiefs' Rashee Rice: In concussion protocol
Rotowire
Rice (concussion) won't practice Wednesday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
Per Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com, Rice reported concussion symptoms Monday, and the wideout is now in the NFL's concussion protocol as Sunday's game against the Titans approaches. He now has two more chances to practice before the Chiefs' Week 16 game statuses are posted, but with the team eliminated from playoff contention, look for caution to be exercised with both Rice and fellow WR Tyquan Thornton, who is also in the protocol.

Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Kept in check despite seven catches
Rotowire
Rice brought in seven of 11 targets for 51 yards in the Chiefs' 16-13 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.
Rice tied for the team lead in receptions and set the pace in targets while checking in second in receiving yards. The Chiefs' No. 1 receiver and the rest of his skill-position teammates now have an uncertain outlook for the remainder of the season, given it appears Patrick Mahomes suffered a serious knee injury in the fourth quarter that figures to sideline him the rest of the way. However, even if Gardner Minshew is under center for Kansas City's final three games, Rice figures to remain a top target.

Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Finds end zone twice in loss
Rotowire
Rice caught eight of 12 targets for 92 yards and two touchdowns in Thursday's 31-28 loss to the Cowboys. He added two rushing yards on his lone carry.
It's the second two-TD performance in six games this season for Rice, who hauled in the first and last of Patrick Mahomes' four touchdown passes on the afternoon. The 12 targets also tied Rice's season high, and he'll take an impressive 42-486-5 line on 59 targets into a tough Week 14 clash with the Texans.
