Roger Goodell Explains NFL's Stance on Chiefs WR Rashee Rice's Future After Car Crash

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell explained Thursday that the league is waiting for the legal process to play out in regards to Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice, who caused a multi-car crash last month.

"Well, first, we allow the legal process to move through," he told ESPN's Mike Greenberg (h/t Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk). "We obviously are following it closely, and as soon as they're done with the process, we will be engaged and prepared to look at that under all of our Personal Conduct Policies."

Williams noted Rice was driving a Lamborghini at 119 mph and lost control, which caused a six-car crash on the highway.
