Rashee Rice makes a comeback sporting a physique fit for the season: Where has wide receiver for the Kansas City Chiefs been?

Despite everything, Rashee Rice does not lose focus. Amid the numerous legal problems he faces, the Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver remains dedicated to his preparation for the 2024 NFL season, although not under the supervision of the team.

Rice was one of the hot topics during the NFL offseason, although mostly for the wrong reasons. After being crowned champion with the Chiefs, the star receiver got into a series of troubles that could cost him a long suspension and jeopardize his status with the team.

Rice’s main problem is his involvement in a high-speed crash that left multiple people injured in Dallas, Texas. The second issue is a lawsuit from a photographer for assault outside a nightclub, also in Dallas. Although less dramatic, this incident also has the player’s lawyers working overtime.

The NFL is waiting for the legal resolution of both cases, but it is practically certain that a heavy suspension awaits the player. However, Rice continues his preparation at full speed under the close supervision of renowned receivers coach Delfonte Diamond.

Rashee Rice’s intense training

Press reports indicate that the MSU Mustangs product did appear in the third phase of organized team activities (OTAs) in Kansas City this week. However, it is known that Rice has done most of his offseason training at Diamond’s private facility.

On Sunday, the renowned instructor posted a video on his social media where Rice can be seen doing a series of exercises, running routes, dodging defenders, and catching passes, among other drills.

The video show that Rice is in top shape. In fact, it is possible that if the NFL regular season started today, the receiver would be ready to take the field.

Awaiting the NFL’s decision

The big problem for the receiver is that all this hard training could be for nothing. The NFL has yet to issue a decision in his case, but analysts expect him to receive a harsh punishment given the seriousness of the circumstances.

The Chiefs are also awaiting the legal resolution of the case and the determination of the NFL. It is difficult for the team to part ways with a player in the second season of a four-year, $6.5 million contract. However, everything will depend on the magnitude of the legal and sporting punishment imposed by the respective authorities.
