Andy Reid said Kansas City has no plans to release Rashee Rice, even as the 26-year-old serves a 30-day jail term for violating probation.
The violation stemmed from a positive THC test that breached court orders tied to Rice's July 2025 plea deal over a 2024 multi-car crash, which also put him on probation for 5 years.
Rice entered jail days after right knee surgery, disrupting normal rehab and leaving his availability for late-July training camp uncertain.
Reid said the team is staying in contact with Rice and monitoring his recovery, framing the episode as a chance for the receiver to learn rather than face additional team punishment.
