While Rashee Rice and the Kansas City Chiefs certainly aren't excited by the news that the wide receiver is likely going to be suspended, it seems that he will at least be able to start the season with the team, given the latest news related to the case.
The National Football League has scheduled a meeting, per NFL reporter Adam Schefter, to serve as his disciplinary hearing. The surprising part of it all is that it's not scheduled until the end of September.
Rice is not going to meet with the powers-that-be until September 30, which means that the NFL won't be suspending him anytime soon.
