During Thursday’s media viewing of Day 3 of voluntary organized team activities (OTAs), Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was one of six absentees — but that was not due to injury, according to Chiefs head coach Andy Reid.
Reid applauded overall attendance of the first three days of workouts, noting that some players were out sick for the media look — Rice among them.
“He’s actually one of the guys under the weather,” said Reid. “So we’ve kept him at home here. But in Phase 2, he was great. He just wasn’t able to go this week, so we kept him out, away from the guys.
