ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Chiefs are "evaluating" a shoulder injury for WR Xavier Worthy.

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice has been leaving training camp practice early each day for knee rehab, according to Ron Kopp Jr. of Arrowhead Pride. Rice had knee surgery in May, followed by a 30-day jail sentence for violating probation. Kopp also relayed a video of Rice running a post (against no defenders) and it looked…less than stellar. Rice’s slow foot speed and lumbering movement wouldn’t beat any NFL CB in man coverage. He is clearly still recovering from his injury and surgery.

The Chiefs believe QB Gardner Minshew tore his left ACL in the loss to the Titans, according to Chiefs Digest's Matt Derrick. Minshew is scheduled for an MRI to confirm, but he likely becomes the second straight Chiefs QB to suffer a season-ending knee injury. Kansas City will be down to QB Chris Oladokun the rest of the way. The 28-year-old, 2022 seventh-round pick had not thrown a regular-season pass before going 11-of-16 for 111 yards vs. the Titans today. Other than maybe WR Rashee Rice and TE Travis Kelce, the Chiefs' passing game will be hands-off against the Broncos in Week 17.

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice is set to make his 2025 debut vs. the Raiders this weekend. He missed the first six games of the season on suspension and will also be playing in his first game since last year's season-ending knee injury. HC Andy Reid was non-committal when asked Monday how much Rice will play against Vegas.

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice returned to practice on Monday. He missed a few practices and the preseason opener with a groin injury. But, barring a setback, it shouldn't impact his 2025 campaign. We're still waiting for the league to make a decision on a Rice suspension for his involvement in a street-racing crash in March of 2024.

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice missed Saturday's preseason game at Arizona. Jesse Newell of The Athletic labeled Rice's groin injury as "mild," which is consistent with prior descriptions of the injury. Expect him to return to practice this week.

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice missed practice yesterday with a groin injury. HC Andy Reid indicated that it is a minor injury and Rice currently remains out of practice as a precaution. With a possible suspension looming, injury at least doesn't look like it will affect Rice into the season.

There's been plenty of speculation this offseason about Chiefs WR Rashee Rice's impending suspension. But there's been little reporting about the state of his game coming off last year's season-ending knee injury. The Athletic's Jesse Newell reports from training camp that Rice still looks like the Chiefs' No. 1 WR.

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice has been a full participant by all accounts in OTAs. His 2024 season ended in September with LCL and hamstring injuries. But HC Andy Reid said back in April that Rice would be ready for training camp. He's seemingly ahead of that schedule.

Chiefs HC Andy Reid said Tuesday that WR Rashee Rice is "on track" to be ready for training camp. Rice is working back from last September's season-ending LCL and hamstring injuries. He had surgery in early October. "He’s working his tail off right now, I know," Reid added.

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice's 2024 season "is expected to be over" with the right knee injury suffered in Week 4, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Rice will have his LCL repaired on Tuesday, "but there is a chance that’s the only ligament to be repaired," per Rapoport. The expectation is that Rice's ACL is intact.

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice will undergo arthroscopic surgery early next week to get a better look at the damage to his right knee, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "As of now, it appears there is only a small chance that the electric second-year player can possibly return this season," Rapoport writes. Next week's procedure could reveal anything from a fully torn ACL and other ligament damage to damage to the PCL and/or LCL but no ACL injury. Depending on the findings, Rice's timeline for return could be anywhere from 4-6 weeks to 9 months. "The chances of testing showing the 4-6 week version appear slim, but not zero," Rapoport adds. Rice owners should continue holding him for now. Hopefully we get a concrete update on his status before waivers run next week.

Chiefs HC Andy Reid said Thursday that WR Rashee Rice is scheduled for additional testing on his knee next week after the swelling subsides. He added that there's "no greater sense of optimism" on Rice's injury. It seems like there's still a strong chance that Rice misses the rest of the season, and he's at least looking at an extended absence. Rice owners should keep him stashed until we learn more next week -- while also bracing for bad news.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that "there remains uncertainty over the extent" of Chiefs WR Rashee Rice's knee injury. Rice had additional testing on the knee on Monday and consulted with team doctors, but "more tests are required to determine the full extent of Rice’s injury and his recovery timeline," according to Schefter. "No answers are expected until next week."

Chiefs WR Marquise Brown will miss at least another four games because of his shoulder injury. NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports that Brown is scheduled to have surgery Monday on the dislocated SC joint that's been sidelining him. Brown reportedly felt better this week, but testing revealed that the injury wasn't healing correctly. Without surgery, Brown would risk further long-term damage.

Chiefs WR Marquise "Hollywood" Brown was injured in the Chiefs preseason game this past Saturday. The extent of the injury has been revealed, as his S/C Joint Sprain will keep him sidelined for four to six weeks. Opening Night is three weeks away.

Chiefs WR Marquise Brown suffered a sternoclavicular joint dislocation in his left shoulder in Saturday's preseason game, HC Andy Reid said afterward. "He'll miss some time," Reid said, adding that this is similar to the injury WR Tyreek Hill suffered in 2019. Hill missed four games with that injury.

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy took the field with teammates for the first practice of training camp Wednesday. That was in question after the first-round pick missed some spring workouts because of a hamstring injury.

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice allegedly fled the scene of a serious accident in Dallas on Saturday night. He's believed to have been driving a Corvette that was racing a Lamborghini. The Lamborghini lost control, hit a median wall, and caused "a chain reaction collision involving four other vehicles," according to the Dallas police. Four people suffered minor injuries, including two who were taken to the hospital. We'll keep you updated on the situation, but Rice comes with at least some suspension risk if you're drafting right now.

Chiefs WR Skyy Moore (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. WR Kadarius Toney was not listed on the injury report. So it looks like both guys will be available for Sunday's Super Bowl, although it remains unclear if either or both will be active. Neither guy has played since mid-December. Rashee Rice, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and Justin Watson will likely to continue operating as Kansas City's top three WRs regardless.
