KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) \u2014 Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was released from a Dallas County jail on Tuesday after serving a 30-day sentence for violating the terms of his probation, which stemmed from his role in a car crash that left multiple people injured on a Texas highway.<\/p>\n
The 26-year-old Rice had been booked into the jail on May 19 after testing positive for THC. Upon his release, Rice made a quick dash past a handful of reporters and into a waiting SUV, which whisked him away from the facility.<\/p>\n
Rice had surgery about a week before he was sentenced to clean up debris in his right knee, which had been causing inflammation. A judge approved a request from his lawyers to allow him to receive treatment at Parkland Hospital while serving his sentence.<\/p>\n
Rice missed all of the Chiefs’ voluntary offseason workouts and their mandatory minicamp, which concluded last week. But Chiefs coach Andy Reid said recently that he expects him to report on time to training camp at the end of July.<\/p>\n
\u201c(Chiefs trainer) Rick (Burkholder) has talked to him more than what I have,\u201d Reid said, \u201cjust making sure that everything was set there where he could do some rehab with it and still do the time that he needed to take care of. So he’s on top of that, and thank goodness that they’re allowing him to do that. So, they’ve been great with that.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Chiefs are counting on Rice to help an offense that often struggled during a disappointing 6-11 finish last season.<\/p>\n
He’s been valuable when he’s been available, catching 156 passes for 1,797 yards and 14 touchdowns and helping the Chiefs win the Super Bowl in the 2023 season. But he’s also missed games because of suspension and injuries, resulting in just 28 played in three seasons.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re moving forward as normal as we go here,\u201d Reid said during voluntary workouts. \u201cWhen he gets back, we\u2019ve got to get him caught up in doing what he needs to do, and make sure he gets it. It\u2019s not an easy thing he\u2019s going through.<\/p>\n
\u201cLife lessons are important,\u201d Reid added, \u201cbut we\u2019re all given chances to learn, and he\u2019s in that position now.\u201d<\/p>\n
