The Kansas City Chiefs will finally get a look at their full offensive arsenal when wide receiver Rashee Rice joins Xavier Worthy and Marquise Brown on the field for Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Rice returned to practice Wednesday after serving a six-game suspension for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy. The punishment stemmed from a high-speed crash on a Dallas highway in March 2024 that injured several people.
The second-year receiver rejoins an offense that is beginning to regain its rhythm after scoring 30 points against the Detroit Lions last week.
“He’s going to want to be out there every single play. That’s the mentality he has,” quarterback Patrick Mahomes said. “It’s going to be our job as coaches and teammates to build him back the right way, but it’s going to be hard to keep him off the field.”
The Chiefs have waited more than a year to see their top three receivers play together. It was the vision of general manager Brett Veach and coach Andy Reid when they signed Brown in free agency and drafted Worthy in the first round. But the plan went awry almost immediately when Brown injured his shoulder on the first play of last preseason, sidelining him until December.
