The Kansas City Chiefs’ wide receivers are ready to sort matters out together. This offseason started with a bump for Rashee Rice, as he faced legal charges for his alleged assault and car crash incidents.
However, now he has taken a vow to “mature and continue to grow” ahead of the 2024 season. Standing with him, this time, are his teammates and fellow wide receivers, Marquise Brown and Skyy Moore, who reunited with Rice for a fun practice ahead of the mandatory minicamp that begins on Tuesday.
Together in overcoming the obstacles!

According to recent Instagram stories from Chiefs WRs Rashee Rice, Marquise Brown, and Skyy Moore, the athletes could be seen practicing route running late at night at an undisclosed location. They each posted a video of their session, which also featured their friend T.A. (goldfeet_ta). The caption on their posts reads, “Late nightstick talk with the gang,” and they tagged one another in the video stories. This practice came ahead of Rice’s vow after his offseason trouble, wherein he mentioned that he is now focused on his future games. And to support him, his wide receiver friends Brown and Moore are there for him.
In April, Rice and another driver allegedly caused a multi-vehicle crash on a Dallas Highway. Additionally, he was suspected of being involved in an alleged assault at a Dallas nightclub, but police later stated that he wouldn’t face charges for that incident as per the victim party’s request. However, Rice, who is now entering his second NFL season, is currently dealing with charges of aggravated assault and multiple collision-related counts. After these offseason hindrances, Rice spoke for the first time on Saturday about his difficult phase.
He, in a youth football camp in Kansas City alongside his fellow Chiefs wideouts (Marquise Brown, Xavier Worthy, Mecole Hardman, and Skyy Moore), expressed, “I’ve learned so much from [the offseason troubles].” The 24-year-old vowed, “All I can do is mature and continue to grow from that. This is a step in a better direction for me. Accidents and stuff like that happen, but all you can do is move forward and walk around being the same person, try to be positive so that everybody can feel your love and your great energy.”
Now, as Rice is prepared for the Chiefs’ next showdown, along with his team members, it remains to be seen if will he get a chance to start off! And how will the Red Army get an improved play from their other wideouts?

Rashee Rice might get suspended?
Rashee Rice’s availability for the entire 2024 season with the Chiefs is uncertain because he might face suspension under the NFL’s personal conduct policy. Due to his issues, the Chiefs have strengthened their receiver lineup. As per ESPN reporter Adam Teicher, the team needs Marquise Brown and Xavier Worthy to be ready quickly, especially if Rice can’t start.
However, Worthy, their first-round draft pick, may not participate fully because of a sore hamstring from offseason practices. The team also hopes for better performances from Kadarius Toney and Skyy Moore, with minicamp showing if they can improve from last season.
