Kansas City Chiefs<\/a> wide receiver Rashee Rice<\/a> will suit up for Week 1 after all.<\/p>\n

According to reports, the NFL has set a Sept. 30 date for Rice’s disciplinary hearing<\/a> for his involvement in a high-speed, multi-car crash in March 2024. That means Rice will be eligible to play in the first four weeks of the 2025 season before he faces consequences \u2013 potentially a multi-game suspension \u2013 from the league.<\/p>\n

Rice pleaded guilty<\/a> to two third-degree felony charges \u2013 collision involving serious bodily injury and racing on a highway causing bodily injury \u2013 in July and was sentenced to 30 days in jail and five years of deferred probation.<\/p>\n

Rice would be the third wide receiver \u2013 and sixth player overall \u2013 to face a multi-game ban in 2025 if the league hands down a suspension as expected. The NFL fined Los Angeles Rams<\/a> wideout Drake Stoops<\/a> $93,334 and gave him a two-game suspension for PED use, and Minnesota Vikings<\/a> receiver Jordan Addison<\/a> will miss the first three games of the season for violating the league’s substance abuse policy.<\/p>\n

However, because of the scheduling of Rice’s hearing, the Chiefs’ presumptive lead receiver will not receive a suspension until after the first four weeks of the season. He’ll be eligible to play against Kansas City’s first four opponents in 2025 \u2013 Los Angeles Chargers<\/a> (in Brazil), Philadelphia Eagles<\/a>, New York Giants<\/a> and Baltimore Ravens<\/a> \u2013 before the Sept. 30 hearing.<\/p>\n

Rice missed 13 games and all but four snaps of a 14th last season after injuring his knee in a collision with quarterback Patrick Mahomes<\/a> following an interception. He tallied 288 yards and two touchdowns on 24 catches in the four (three full) games he played in.<\/p>\n
