Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Stays limited Thursday
Rotowire
Rice (hamstring/knee) remained a limited participant at Thursday's practice.
Rice has put a pair of limited practices under his belt as he works his way back from a hamstring injury that has sidelined him since Week 4, with a knee injury also in the mix to complicate his recovery. If Rice ultimately gets the green light to face the Broncos, he would likely reclaim his customary role as Kansas City's top wide receiver. He would likely need to log a full practice Friday to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game.

Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Returns in limited fashion Wednesday
Rotowire
Rice (hamstring) was a limited participant Wednesday
Wednesday marked Rice's first practice since suffering a hamstring injury in the Week 4 win against the Raiders. He was limited this time, so it's unclear if he'll be able to ramp up to full practices by the end of the week. Rice's progress through the remainder of the week will be an indicator of his status going into Week 8 against the Broncos. Even if he's not quite ready Sunday, a return to action looks to be on the horizon.
Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Returning to practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that Rice (hamstring/knee) is expected to practice Wednesday, Nate Taylor of ESPN.com reports.
Rice will mix into drills for the first time since exiting the Chiefs' Week 4 win over the Raiders due to the pair of injuries. Reid provided no assurances that Rice is in line to play Sunday in Denver, but as long as the Chiefs' No. 1 wideout responds well to practice and avoids any setbacks as the week rolls along, he could put an end to his two-game absence.
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 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.
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.
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.
