There’s still hope for the Kansas City Chiefs regarding wide receiver Rashee Rice, despite his serious knee injury sustained during their Week 4 game against the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium. Rice was carted off the field after an unfortunate collision with quarterback Patrick Mahomes, initially sparking fears of a season-ending injury.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Chiefs are cautiously optimistic Rice could return this season, with a clearer diagnosis expected after his upcoming knee procedure on Monday. Early reports suggest he might be out for 6-8 weeks.

This update comes as a relief to Chiefs fans, especially since Rice has been the team’s standout receiver, leading in targets, receptions, and receiving yards through four games.
