On Saturday, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice spoke to local media members for the first time since his season-ending injury in 2024’s Week 4.
After an interception by the Los Angeles Chargers’ (and now-Chiefs) cornerback Kristian Fulton, quarterback Patrick Mahomes inadvertently drove into Rice’s right knee as he attempted to tackle Fulton. The impact tore Rice’s LCL and caused additional partial tears, ending his 2024 season.
After months of rehab, Rice rejoined teammates for organized team activities (OTAs), showing no limitations. Following Saturday’s practice, Rice said he actually feels better now than he did at this time last year.
