KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Kansas City Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice was suspended for six games for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy. The suspension follows his guilty plea to two third-degree felony charges related to a March 2024 crash in Dallas.

The NFL's decision came after an internal investigation and voids a scheduled hearing. Rice will miss several high-profile games, including the season opener against the Chargers in Brazil and a Super Bowl rematch with the Eagles.

He will be eligible to return on Oct. 19, when Kansas City faces the Raiders.
