Chiefs say they are aware of domestic violence allegations involving Rashee Rice | Kansas City Chiefs
The Kansas City Chiefs said in a statement Wednesday evening that they were aware of allegations of domestic violence made in a series of social media posts by a former girlfriend of wide receiver Rashee Rice and were in communication with the NFL.
The Chiefs did not mention Rice by name in their statement and said they would have “no further comment at this time.”
Dacoda Nichole Jones also did not mention Rice by name when she posted a series of photos on Instagram earlier today that appeared to show signs of physical abuse. Jones said the person involved was the father of her children and that the woman had two children with Rice, who the Chiefs selected in the second round of the 2023 draft.
No police reports were available from the suburb of Overland Park, Kansas, where Jones alleges the abuse took place.
Rice missed the first six games of the season following an NFL suspension for her role in the crash on a Dallas highway that left several injured during the 2024 offseason. Rice was sentenced to 30 days in jail and five years of probation after pleading guilty to third-degree felony charges of collision involving serious bodily injury and racing on a highway causing bodily injury.
Rice finished with 53 catches for 571 yards and five touchdowns as Kansas City went 6-11 and missed the playoffs for the first time in a decade.
