Rice was injured in Sunday’s win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Patrick Mahomes threw an interception and in an attempt to tackle the Charger returning the pick collided with Rice’s knee during the ensuing fumble.
“When I saw the replay, I felt like s— that I hit Rashee,” Mahomes said Thursday. “I wasn’t really worried about myself. I was worried about his injury and hopefully that it wasn’t as bad as it looked. I was the one that hit him.
“I didn’t notice it in the moment. I was more worried about trying to get the ball. Obviously, he’s just trying to make a play, and it happens whenever you’re trying to make tackles.”
