The second year wide receiver was off to a hot start to begin the season. Unfortunately, he may have to miss the rest of it.
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver, Rashee Rice, had to be carted off the field on Sunday and the news did not sound good. Rice was off to a stellar start this season but that could quickly come to an end as he would likely miss the rest of the season with a reported torn ACL. The receiver is still undergoing tests and it may not be as bad as first feared. The Chiefs are also missing receiver Hollywood Brown and running back Isiah Pacheco as the injuries continue to pile up around the league. Check out what the Jacksonville Jaguars, Washington Commanders, and other NFL teams are talking about in our roundup.
