Rice pleaded guilty to two third-degree felony charges of collision involving serious bodily injury and racing on a highway causing bodily injury.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nfl\/news\/will-rashee-rice-be-suspended-heres-how-many-games-chiefs-wr-could-miss-following-hit-and-run-sentencing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Speculation persists<\/a>\u00a0over how Rice&#8217;s sentencing will impact his <a href=\"https:\/\/cbssports.com\/nfl\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NFL<\/a> career. The league is expected to suspend him, but Reid said he has no update about Rice&#8217;s status for the upcoming season. Last week, NFL  spokesman Brian McCarthy said the league is &#8220;closely  monitoring all developments in the matter which remains under review.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to the Associated Press, Rice will have &#8220;flexibility&#8221; for when he serves his 30-day sentence.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Rice is entering his third NFL season. Last year, he caught 24 passes for 288 yards and two touchdowns in the first three games before going down with a season-ending knee injury in Week 4. Without Rice, the Chiefs advanced to the <a href=\"https:\/\/cbssports.com\/nfl\/superbowl\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Super Bowl<\/a> but lost to the <a class=\"Annotation-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nfl\/teams\/PHI\/philadelphia-eagles\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Philadelphia Eagles<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Upon his return, Rice is expected to have a big role in Kansas City&#8217;s offense. When asked about the knee injury, Reid said last month that Rice would be &#8220;ready to go&#8221; when training camp begins.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Getty Images Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice will fully participate in the team&#8217;s training camp despite&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9993,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[64,63,1240,593,11777,85],"class_list":["post-9992","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-kansas-city-chiefs","tag-nfl","tag-rashee-rice","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9992","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9992"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9992\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9993"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9992"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9992"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9992"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
