Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice will not face discipline from the NFL after he was accused of domestic abuse by his ex-girlfriend. <\/p>\n
In February, Dacoda Jones, the mother of Rice\u2019s two children, filed a civil suit alleging that Rice<\/a> had caused \u201csevere and permanent injuries\u201d to her between December 2023 and July 2025, via The Athletic.<\/a> The lawsuit alleged that \u201cgrabbed, choked, strangled, pushed, thrown, scratched, hit and headbutted Ms. Jones, as well as hit her with inanimate objects.\u201d<\/p>\n Rice\u2019s lawyer Sean Lindsey said after the lawsuit was filed, \u201cOn October 9th, 2025, well after the parties’ relationship had ended, Ms. Jones stated under penalty of perjury in a sworn Affidavit for Non-Prosecution that \u2018Mr. Rice and I had a verbal argument, but he did not punch me.\u2019 We will allow the legal process to run its course and have no further comment at this time.\u201d<\/p>\n Jones previously had posted pictures of herself to social media in January which included bruises and scratches on her body. She wrote in the since-deleted Instagram post. \u201cI\u2019m so tired of keeping quiet I\u2019m so tired of protecting his image. I\u2019ve been through too much in a span of 8 years and I\u2019ve had ENOUGH! I\u2019ve dealt with abuse for years, me and this man decided to break up a couple months ago and since then it\u2019s been nothing but hell.\u201d<\/p>\n The NFL announced after those posts were made that they would be reviewing the matter under the league\u2019s personal conduct policy. <\/p>\n
