Rashee Rice was booked into the Dallas County jail at 12:15 p.m. on Tuesday and, according to an order of court dated May 19, will remain in custody until June 16 after testing positive for THC and violating the terms of his probation.
The jail term stems from a sentence handed down by a Dallas County judge last summer that imposed 30 days in jail and five years of probation for Rice's role in a March 2024 multi‑car crash on Dallas' North Central Expressway.
Police described the crash as a chain reaction collision after the Lamborghini Urus Rice was driving struck a retaining wall, with officers saying he drove erratically at speeds nearing 120 mph and that five vehicles were damaged.
Five men including Rice left the scene on foot, leaving behind a Lamborghini and a Chevrolet Corvette that also belonged to the receiver, and police said occupants of two vehicles were hospitalized while two others received on‑scene treatment.
The revocation means Rice will miss the Chiefs' offseason on‑field sessions, including OTAs scheduled May 26‑28 and June 1‑3, and the mandatory minicamp set for June 9‑11, a period the team normally uses for on‑field preparation.
The NFL said it is "aware of the report" and declined further comment, according to a statement to CBS Sports' Jonathan Jones.
Recovery And Legal Background
Rice underwent surgery last week to remove loose bodies from his right knee, a procedure ESPN reported should require roughly two months of recovery before he returns to football activities.
That right knee is the same one Rice injured in September 2024 in a collision with Patrick Mahomes, an injury that involved a torn LCL and damage to his hamstring tendon and PCL, according to the reporting available.
Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Rice did not know he would be sentenced when he had the procedure, and the timing means he will be unable to engage in supervised rehab while serving his sentence in custody.
Rice had earlier served a six‑game NFL suspension without pay to open the 2025 season after the league found he violated the personal conduct policy in connection with the March 2024 incident, though the NFL initially proposed a longer suspension before the NFLPA and Rice's representatives argued for a shorter punishment.
Separately, a civil lawsuit alleged that Rice assaulted Dacoda Jones across many months from December 2023 through July 2025, but the NFL's own investigation concluded he "has not engaged in conduct that violates the personal conduct policy," according to available reports.
