NFL gives Chiefs’ Rice six-game ban for crash that left multiple people injured | Kansas City Chiefs
The receiver of the Kansas City chiefs, Rashee Rice, accepted a ban on six NFL games for his part in a high -speed accident that made a number of people injured.
The 25 -year -old man pleaded guilty in July with two accusations of crime in the third degree of collision involving serious bodily and racing injuries on a highway causing bodily injuries. He was sentenced to 30 days in prison and had to pay $ 115,000 in medical costs to the injured. The incident took place on a Dallas motorway in March 2024. Prosecutors said that Rice led a Lamborghini Urus SUV to 119 MPH when he made “multiple aggressive maneuvers around traffic” and hit other vehicles.
Rice said in a statement at the time of his advocacy agreement: “I am deeply sorry for physical damage to the person and property. I fully apologize for the harm I have caused to innocent drivers and their families. ”
The NFL rendered its suspension after its own internal investigation, a week before the chiefs left for Brazil, where they will play the Los Angeles chargeers in their first season game. In addition to missing the Load match, Rice will miss a revenge match of the Super Bowl from last season with the Eagles on September 14 at the Stadium Arrowhead; A Sunday evening trip to New York to face the Giants; A high level match with Lamar Jackson and the Ravens on September 28; A match against Jacksonville the following Monday evening; And a Sunday evening force test with the Lions. The rice will be eligible to return to the field when Kansas City faces the raiders of the western rival of the AFC on October 19.
The chiefs selected rice in the second round of the 2023 draft. He won the Super Bowl in his first season with the team, catching six passes for 39 yards in the victory of Kansas City against the 49ers of San Francisco.
