Wide receiver Rashee Rice of the Kansas City Chiefs has been sentenced to 30 days in jail following a probation violation after testing positive for marijuana, according to reports from several news outlets on Tuesday.
Rice was processed into custody Tuesday afternoon at a Dallas County, Texas facility and is scheduled for release on June 16. This timing will cause him to be absent from organized team activities and a mandatory minicamp.
KSHB 41 News in Kansas City first reported the news and secured court documentation showing Rice’s positive test result for THC.
The Chiefs organization has not issued a statement regarding the matter.
Rice’s probation stems from his involvement in a street-racing incident that resulted in injuries to several individuals on a Dallas highway in March of 2024. He entered guilty pleas last July to two third-degree felonies and received five years of probation along with deferred adjudication on a 30-day jail term.
The NFL has already handed Rice a six-game suspension to begin the 2025 season for violating the league’s personal conduct policy.
The 26-year-old Rice recorded 53 receptions for 571 yards and five touchdowns across eight games in the previous season. Selected by the Chiefs in the second round of the 2023 draft, Rice has accumulated 156 catches for 1,797 yards and 14 touchdowns over 28 career contests.
