Rashee Rice, wide receiver for the Kansas City Chiefs, was sentenced to 30 days in jail and five years of probation. The jail time will be served during the probation period. If Rice successfully completes probation, his case will be dismissed. This is because he got deferred adjudication, according to the reports. The NFL is expected to suspend him for multiple games, now that the legal case is done. The suspension will most likely happen during the 2025 NFL season. Rice was not suspended last season because the legal case was still going on. He also only played 4 games in 2024 due to a knee injury, so he missed most of the season anyway, as stated by Bleacher Report.
