Rashee Rice injury update: Andy Reid gives grim news on Chiefs WR

Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid had bad news regarding the injury to receiver Rashee Rice. The second-year wideout went down with an apparent knee injury after teammate Patrick Mahomes accidentally hit him while attempting to make a tackle after throwing an interception.

Speaking ahead of the second half, Reid suggested that the injury was of serious nature.

Rice, the 2023 second round pick out of SMU, entered Sunday’s game third in the NFL with 24 receptions to go along with 288 yards and two touchdowns. His absence leaves a massive hole in the Chiefs’ receiving core, who are already without Hollywood Brown.

Kansas City will look for contributions from Travis Kelce, Xavier Worthy, Skyy Moore, Justin Watson and JuJu Smith-Schuster with Rashee Rice sidelined due to injury.

The Chiefs and Chargers were tied at 10 with seven minutes to go in the fourth quarter. Tight end Travis Kelce currently leads Kansas City with nine catches for 89 yards.

Report: Kansas, Chiefs still without signed contract to use Arrowhead Stadium

As Kansas proceeds with a massive renovation project on the school’s football stadium and facilities, the Jayhawks needed new places to play home games in 2024. And in a novel solution, the Jayhawks announced a number of home games would be played at Arrowhead Stadium, the home of the Kansas City Chiefs.

That announcement was made in January, but days before the first scheduled game at Arrowhead for the Jayhawks, there’s a snag: There’s no contract between the school and the Chiefs to play there, according to a report from KCUR. Kansas played two early home games at the home stadium of MLS team Sporting KC.

According to records obtained by KCUR, the Jayhawks paid Sporting KC $100,000 in rent for use of the facility and an additional $150,000 for game day expenses, with a few more mechanisms to have the Jayhawks pay for notable damage to the playing surface and divisions of revenue from parking, concessions and merchandise. That contract, according to KCUR, was four pages long.

Right now, Kansas is scheduled to play four home games at Arrowhead Stadium: vs. TCU (Sept. 28), vs. Houston (Oct. 19), vs. Iowa State (Nov. 9) and vs. Colorado (Nov. 23). The Chiefs are playing away games on all but one of the following Sundays, but will play a home game on Sunday, Nov. 10, a day after the scheduled Kansas-Iowa State game.

And while there remains no contract as of Wednesday, there is apparently confidence from KU that a deal will get done.
