The Kansas City Chiefs are moving forward this season without their top wide receiver. Rashee Rice’s injury has taken him out of the lineup for the foreseeable future, forcing changes within the team’s game plan.
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid addressed reporters on Monday via Zoom about Rice’s status following his surgery and the process he will take to recover.
“Rashee (Rice), his surgery was not his ACL. It was the Posterolateral corner (PLC). There was damage there. It’s probably the same result,” said Reid. “you get time-wise for an ACL, it takes a while for that to come back, and he’ll get into his rehab and get rolling on that as we go here. So, but that’s what it was.”
An update on the second-year standout was revealed shortly before the Chiefs’ Monday night game against the New Orleans Saints, which showed that Rice’s knee injury wasn’t as severe as initially thought. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Kansas City wide receiver won’t play again this season after having successful surgery last Tuesday.
