Injuries caught up with the Kansas City Chiefs too early in the 2024 NFL season. The team is still undefeated with a perfect 5-0 record, but keeping this streak going will be challenging for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/andy-reid">Andy Reid</a>‘s men.



Especially now that the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Chiefs</a> coach all but confirmed the loss of a star player for the rest of the year. Speaking to reporters on Monday, Reid provided a revealing update on wide receiver Rashee Rice.



“His surgery was not his ACL, it was the posterolateral corner, there was damage there,” Reid said, via Sports Illustrated. “It’s probably the same result, though, as you’d get time-wise for an ACL. It takes a while for that to come back. He’ll get into his rehab and get rolling on that as we go here.”



While Reid revealed <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/rashee-rice">Rice</a> had surgery on his posterolateral corner (PLC), the Chiefs coach suggested that the length of the wideout’s recovery will probably be similar to that of an ACL tear.

This means the second-year wide receiver is likely to miss the remainder of the 2024 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season, including playoffs. Needless to say, it’s a huge loss for Reid and Patrick Mahomes, as Rice was leading the Chiefs offense until Week 4.

<h2>Rice’s surgery adds to list of Chiefs injury woes</h2>



Rice’s injury occurred in the strangest of circumstances, as it was his own quarterback who injured the wide receiver. After throwing an interception early in the first quarter against the Los Angeles Chargers, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/video-patrick-mahomes-injures-key-chiefs-temmate-as-he-accidentally-tackles-rashee-rice">Mahomes injured Rice by accidentally tackling</a> the wideout in an attempt to stop the opponents.



With Rice on the sidelines, the Chiefs lost their primary wide receiver and increased their list of injured players. Before Rice, Kansas City lost veteran WR Marquise “Hollywood” Brown to a sternoclavicular joint dislocation sustained in preaseason, an injury that was followed by Isiah Pacheco’s fractured fibula in Week 2.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-chiefs-te-travis-kelce-explains-why-he-threw-a-lateral-pass-not-because-of-andy-reid"></div>


That means the Chiefs have their biggest free agency signing, their starting running back, and their primary wideout all on the sidelines. Mahomes and Reid have so far managed to continue winning despite these setbacks, but we’ll have to wait and see whether they can keep this going as the season advances.

It wasn’t the greatest start for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/rashee-rice">Rashee Rice</a>. The injury he suffered in Week 4 of the 2024 NFL Regular Season in a collision with Patrick Mahomes brings an uncertain future for him on the Kansas City Chiefs.



At first, some reports suggested that Rice’s injury was season-ending. Now, the high hopes for his return are awaiting a crucial move, but the odds for a good news are in the lowest.



The initial diagnose for Rice’s injury was a torn ACL, however, it hasn’t been confirmed. For that reason, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Chiefs</a> wide recevier will undergo an arthroscopic knee procedure.



Different professionals and the Chiefs will be waiting for the results of that procedure. It will decide if the team can count with him in the future, and will help to build a plan for his recovery.

<h2>What can Rice’s procedure reveal?</h2>



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> Insider Ian Ropoport reported via NFL.com what the results of Rice’s procedure could reveal in the following days: “The testing could reveal damage to the PCL and LCL, but no damage to the ACL. It could show the ACL is damaged enough to require a full reconstruction, while also showing damage to the supporting ligaments. The scope could reveal just limited damage to the supporting ligaments and no surgery will be required.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-andy-reid-sends-clear-message-to-patrick-mahomes-after-slow-start-with-chiefs"></div>


Depending on the results, Rice could be considered for the final matches of the regular season, or even for the playoffs. While that happens, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/andy-reid">Andy Reid</a> trusts in the rest of the players to defend the title, with Patrick Mahomes at the helm of the offense



“Rashee’s had a phenomenal year. Unfortunately, in this league injuries happen, and life goes on, so we always expected the next guys to step up and roll, and it’s no different now. There’s not another Rashee. There [are] other guys, though, that are very, very good, so we’ll be fine,” Reid said about Rice’s injury, via ESPN.

NFL News: Rashee Rice’s future in 2024 season with Mahomes, Chiefs awaits crucial move - Bolavip US

The Kansas City Chiefs‘ 4-0 start doesn’t mean the 2024 NFL season will be easy. Rashee Rice‘s injury in last week’s 17-10 win over the Los Angeles Chargers has led to all kinds of statements, but <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a> has surprised with one strong admission.



Winning two consecutive <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> championships and starting the season on a perfect streak has meant consistently raising the bar for the Chiefs, with Mahomes as a key pillar. The efforts of the 29-year-old quarterback can put his teammates in unfortunate situations. In this case, the former Texas Tech standout opened up about wide receiver Rice’s injury.



“I was the one that hit him. When I saw the replay, I felt terrible. I was hoping it wasn’t as bad as it looked,” Mahomes confessed Thursday at a news conference about <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/rashee-rice">Rice</a>‘s injury during the game against the Chargers. The quarterback accidentally hit his teammate’s knee while trying to make a tackle.



“I didn’t realize I hit it at the time, I was more concerned with trying to get the ball. I was just trying to make a play and these things can happen. Rashee (Rice) is a big part of the team,” Mahomes sentenced of the unlucky situation.

<h2>Rashee Rice’s injury report</h2>



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Chiefs</a> have placed Rashee Rice on injured reserve with a knee injury. The wide receiver will miss at least the next four weeks. Coach Andy Reid had already ruled Rice out for the Monday Night Football game against the New Orleans Saints in NFL Week 5.






<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-chiefs-confirm-andy-reid-patrick-mahomes-lose-yet-another-key-weapon-with-big-injury"></div>


The Chiefs’ medical staff will begin evaluating Rice’s knee when the swelling in the area goes down. The loss of the wide receiver is a weighty one for Kansas City, as he has 24 receptions and 288 air yards on the current season.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a> may lose one of their top wide receivers after it was revealed that Rashee Rice was injured by his quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, during a chaotic play following an interception by the Chargers. Rice will not return to the game.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a> threw a pass intended for Travis Kelce, but the ball was intercepted by Chargers CB Kristian Fulton. Realizing the interception, Mahomes sprinted to stop Fulton’s advance, diving to trip him up. Following closely behind, Rashee Rice knocked the ball out of Fulton’s hands to force a fumble, but in the process, collided with Mahomes’ helmet, injuring his knee.



Initially, Rice was listed as questionable to return, but after seeing the Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver visibly distraught over the injury, it became clear he wouldn’t be back in the game. Tom Pelissero later confirmed that Rice was officially ruled out of the matchup against the Chargers.



During halftime of the game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Los Angeles Chargers, Andy Reid commented on <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/rashee-rice">Rashee Rice</a>’s knee injury, suggesting that it could be something more serious than initially thought.

<h2>Rashee Rice in the 2024 NFL Season</h2>



So far in the 2024 NFL season, Rashee Rice has recorded 2 touchdowns on 24 receptions. Both touchdowns came in the Chiefs’ recent victories against the Atlanta Falcons (22-17) and the Cincinnati Bengals (26-25).


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-dak-prescotts-star-teammate-fined-22k-after-cowboys-ravens-week-3-clash"></div>


Rice has accumulated 288 receiving yards through three weeks, averaging 12 yards per game. It’s worth noting that Rice has been with the Chiefs since the 2023 season, starting 16 games last year.

Rashee Rice heads into his second year in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> after a fantastic rookie year with the Kansas City Chiefs, helping the team win the Super Bowl by being the most reliable wide receiver for Patrick Mahomes throughout the 2023 season.



But the future looks even brighter for the second-year wideout. Ahead of the upcoming season, Rice feels his chemistry with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Mahomes</a> is only getting stronger, which is why the rest of the league should be worried about this duo.



“I feel like our chemistry is going to continue to grow. I feel like it’s been growing throughout the offseason and as well as during this camp right now,” said Rice, via ChiefsWire. “All we (are) looking forward to is to continue to grow and just get better – whether it’s preseason, regular season, or even playoffs.”



This offseason, however, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/rashee-rice">Rice</a> has made headlines for the wrong reasons. That means he could miss some games at the beginning of 2024, so we may have to wait to see his renewed chemistry with Mahomes on the gridiron.

“Honestly, the next step for me is to bring the guys around me up,” said Rice, “You know we got X (Xavier Worthy) here, so whatever I learned last year, he needs to learn right now so that we can continue to grow together.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-andy-reid-breaks-silence-on-having-former-super-bowl-champion-with-mahomes-chiefs"></div>


<h2>Chiefs give Mahomes more weapons at WR for 2024 NFL season</h2>



Rice has been the only player on the WR room to put up decent numbers in 2023, as the unit struggled big time last year. Mahomes still managed to find a way to success, but the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Chiefs</a> know their quarterback deserves better.



With the group struggling in 2023 and Rice involved in multiple incidents this offseason, Kansas City has made a couple of interesting additions at wide receiver to continue helping Pat.



The arrival of veteran wideout Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown in free agency promises to bolster the unit, just like getting Xavier Worthy in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft after trading up to have the No. 28 selection.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kansas City Chiefs</a> are in a tough spot right now. Rashee Rice followed his impressive debut season by getting involved in legal turmoil for causing a six-vehicle crash.



The second-year wide receiver is now facing eight felony charges. Two victims in the crash have filed a civil suit against, and his future with the organization — and in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> — is in question.



The team didn’t hesitate to find a suitable replacement in Xavier Worthy. That’s why owner Clark Hunt gave GM Brett Veach the benefit of the doubt when it came to assessing his character.



<h2>Clark Hunt Is Confident In His Team’s Decision-Makers</h2>



“I think [General Manager] Brett [Veach] and his team do a really good job in evaluating the character of the individuals that we draft,” Chiefs owner Clark Hunt said, as quoted by ProFootballTalk.

<h2>Hunt Says He’s Disappointed In Rice</h2>



Hunt didn’t mince his words about Rice’s situation. He admitted that he was disappointed in the SMU product, adding that he’s not going to comment about an active legal case:



“Occasionally, guys make mistakes and get in trouble. Certainly, I’m very disappointed with the situation with Rashee and how that’s unfolded. It is an active legal case, so I can’t really comment on it further than that. He is still a member of the Kansas City Chiefs, and I think [coach] Andy [Reid] mentioned, we’ll just evaluate that as we go forward,” Hunt added.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/patrick-mahomes-and-chiefs-get-spectacular-weapon-in-2024-nfl-draft-thanks-to-andy-reid"></div>




It’s sad to see players waste a promising future because of their poor judgment. Hopefully, that won’t be the case anymore with Worthy or any other young man entering the league.
