Rashee Rice booked into jail, Chiefs face 30-day absence — Football Scores Today

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was booked into Dallas County jail on Tuesday after testing positive for marijuana in violation of his probation agreement. The move puts football scores today attention on an absence that will run through the rest of the team’s organized work this month.

Rice is scheduled for release on June 16, but he will miss the remainder of the Chiefs’ OTAs on May 26-28 and June 1-3, then the mandatory minicamp on June 9-11. The jail term follows the July 2025 plea agreement that placed him on 5 years of probation and required 30 days in jail over that span.

Dallas County jail booking

The booking came after Rice tested positive for marijuana, also called THC, in violation of the plea agreement. That agreement was tied to last offseason’s sentencing for a reckless driving charge from the 2024 offseason, and it also required him to serve jail time across the five-year probation window.

Rice’s latest issue lands on top of a previous six-game suspension for violating the NFL’s Personal Conduct Policy last year. The league had originally wanted that suspension to run for a double-digit number of games, while Rice sought no more than a month before the sides reached a negotiated deal before hearing officer Sue L. Robinson ruled on the matter.

Chiefs OTAs without Rice

The immediate football impact is straightforward: Rice will not be on the field for the rest of the Chiefs’ voluntary work sessions this month or for mandatory minicamp. That leaves Kansas City to move through its offseason schedule without one of its top wide receivers while the legal and league issues continue to shadow him.

Rice also had to pay $115,481.91 in restitution to the crash victims for their out-of-pocket medical expenses. The Chiefs and the NFL did not immediately respond to requests for comment, leaving the club to carry on with OTAs and minicamp plans while one of its most scrutinized players serves the jail term already assigned under the plea agreement.
