The fact that Rice served a six-game suspension under the Personal Conduct Policy in 2025 for a street-racing incident in 2024 would potentially lead to enhanced penalties, if the league determines that he committed domestic violence \u2014 which per the policy calls for a baseline suspension of six games.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no evidence that criminal charges have been filed, or that he has been sued in civil court. Regardless, the fact that the Chiefs have issued a statement, and that the Chiefs have been in communication with the league office, means that an investigation is inevitable. It possibly has already begun.<\/p>\n<p>A second-round pick in 2023, Rice is currently eligible for a second contract.
