Chiefs' Rashee Rice Undergoes Right Knee Surgery, Facing 2-Month Layoff Before 30-Day Jail Term

Rashee Rice had right knee cleanup surgery last week in Dallas to remove loose debris causing inflammation, with no structural damage found.
Two months is the expected recovery timeline, which still leaves the Chiefs wide receiver on track for training camp later this summer.
The procedure came before Rice learned he would be ordered to serve 30 days in jail for violating probation tied to a Dallas highway crash that injured multiple people.
That jail term could limit the rehab and medical attention that might have sped his recovery from a knee injury that has lingered since a 2024 collision with Patrick Mahomes.
Jailed after major knee surgery, will Rashee Rice ever regain the elite form that made him a Chiefs star?
With his recovery halted by a jail sentence, is Rashee Rice becoming too big a liability for the Chiefs?
