Chiefs HC Andy Reid says Rashee Rice will remotely participate during Phase 1 of offseason work

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid told reporters on Monday that wide receiver Rashee Rice is expected to remotely participate in Phase 1 of the team’s voluntary offseason program via virtual meetings.

Rice surrendered to authorities Thursday in Texas on charges including aggravated assault after he and another driver of a speeding sports car allegedly caused a crash involving a half-dozen vehicles on a Dallas highway in March.

NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported last week that the NFL has been closely tracking developments in the incident.

“Most of these have been left for law enforcement to handle, and we will proceed based on their actions,” said Reid.

The first phase of the program, which lasts for two weeks, is solely dedicated to meetings, strength and conditioning, and physical rehabilitation.

The Chiefs chose Rice as the No. 55 overall pick in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft. His contribution of 79 receptions, 938 yards, and seven touchdowns helped Kansas City secure a Super Bowl victory.
