Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice is apparently unable to stay out of trouble during an NFL offseason because he is in jail for violating his probation, which he was sentenced to last offseason on a reckless driving charge starting in the 2024 offseason.
That’s a lot of offseason mess by Rice.
The latest came Tuesday when he was found to have tested positive for marijuana (THC) in violation of the July 2025 plea agreement that put him on five years of probation and ordered him to serve 30 days in jail over a five-year period.
Rice was booked into the Dallas County, Texas, jail on Tuesday and will serve her 30 days. He is scheduled to be released on June 16.

CHIEFS STAR RASHEE RICE WILL FULLY PARTICIPATE IN TRAINING CAMP DESPITE looming SUSPENSION, ANDY REID SAYS
The violation order immediately sends Rice to jail for the 30 days he was originally ordered to serve within five years at his trial instead of adding another 30 days. In last year’s lawsuit, Rice also had to pay a total of $115,481.91 in restitution to crash victims for their medical expenses.
With Rice in jail for the next 30 days, he will miss the rest of the Chiefs’ OTAs (May 26-28 and June 1-3) and their mandatory minicamp on June 9-11. June.
The breach was first revealed by Kansas City’s KSHB 41 News and confirmed by OutKick and Pakinomist.

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS’ RASHEE RICE HAMLET WITH LAWSUIT BY EX-GIRLFRIEND ALLEGING DESTIC ABUSE: REPORTS
Neither the NFL nor the Kansas City Chiefs immediately responded to an email seeking comment.
But things could certainly get worse for Rice.
It is possible that this violation of his probation agreement could trigger a new investigation under the NFL’s personal conduct policy.
RASHEE RICE suspended six games by NFL
Rice served a six-game suspension for violating that policy last year in connection with his driving offense and court case.
Rice actually seemed to get off the hook with that suspension because it was a negotiated deal with the league. The NFL originally wanted Rice’s suspension to span double-digit games, per source. Rice did not want to miss more than a month, according to a source, and the parties agreed to the deal before hearings officer Sue L. Robinson ruled on the case.

A new investigation into the personal conduct policy could lead to Rice missing more games when the 2026 regular season begins.
The Chiefs, meanwhile, have an obvious problem on their hands.

Rice, one of the team’s better receivers with 156 catches his first three NFL seasons, has proven he can’t be trusted to stay out of trouble. It’s possible the club could fine Rice for missing their mandatory minicamp.
Rice pleaded guilty last year to one count of hit-and-run involving serious bodily injury and racing on a highway causing bodily injury — both third-degree felonies.
Rice was not available for comment Tuesday — because he is in prison.
