Chiefs head coach Andy Reid spoke to the media on Thursday for the first time since wide receiver Rashee Rice was ordered to spend 30 days in jail last week. <\/p>\n

The jail term was part of Rice\u2019s sentence for his involvement in a 2024 car crash and he was ordered to serve it now after violating his probation<\/a> for testing positive for THC. The wideout will miss the rest of the team\u2019s offseason program as a result of the sentence.<\/p>\n

Rice was also suspended for six games last season following his plea deal and Reid said that the team has been in touch with the league. He also said that Rice needs to treat this moment as a learning experience for the future. <\/p>\n

\u201cAs far as Rashee goes, we\u2019re aware of the situation, the league\u2019s aware of it<\/a>, we\u2019ve talked to the league, we get it,\u201d Reid said. \u201cAs far as any further ado to that, there\u2019s been no talk about anything further. We\u2019re moving forward, just normal as we go here. When he gets back, we\u2019ve got to get him caught up and doing what he needs to do. And then, make sure he gets it. It\u2019s not an easy thing he\u2019s going through. Life lessons are important, but we\u2019re all given chances to learn, and so he\u2019s in that position now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reid answered a followup question about conversations with the league to say that the Chiefs \u201cdon\u2019t know\u201d if there will be any further discipline for the wideout.<\/p>\n

Rice also had his knee operated on recently and Reid said they think the wideout will be ready to go when training camp gets underway this summer. They\u2019d like to have Rice on the field the rest of the way as well, but his history makes that less than a sure thing. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chiefs head coach Andy Reid spoke to the media on Thursday for the first time since wide receiver…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":670855,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-670854","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/670854","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=670854"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/670854\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/670855"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=670854"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=670854"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=670854"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
