KANSAS CITY, Mo. (WIBW) - Following allegations of domestic violence made by Rashee Rice’s ex-girlfriend, the Chiefs’ wide receiver will not face a suspension from the National Football League.
According to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the NFL closed the investigation on Rice and found that he “has not engaged in conduct that violates the personal conduct policy.” The NFL added that there will be no discipline at this time.
Rice’s attorney Sean Lindsey stated that “Mr. Rice wants to thank the NFL for their thorough investigation, and looks forward to the start of the 2026-27 NFL season.”
NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy stated: “There was insufficient evidence to support a finding that he violated the personal conduct policy.”
He was suspended for six games in the 2025 season for his role in a six-car hit-and-run crash in March 2024.
