KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Option B for the Chiefs offense began with Wednesday's practice, the first day after every NFL team is required to trim its initial roster to 53 players. One of the reasons Wednesday's on-field work was more quiet than usual was because of who was absent: wide receiver Rashee Rice.
A few hours before the Chiefs' practice began, Rice, a three-year player and the No. 1 receiver for quarterback Patrick Mahomes, accepted a six-game suspension for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy, punishment that the league made official Wednesday afternoon.
