Rice had pleaded guilty to two felony charges for his role in a multicar crash in Dallas that left multiple people injured. The incident took place during the 2024 offseason, but the Chiefs were prepared for Rice to face punishment from the league his role.<\/p>\n<p>Reid said the team was ready to start the season without Rice and had four words for their approach.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTry to move ahead,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Andy Reid Ready for Others to Step Up<\/h2>\n<p>Reid said the team prepared for Rice\u2019s absence during training camp, giving other players opportunities in the offense while making sure the wide receiver got in as much work as possible while recovering from an injury.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverybody got a chance to play that will have an opportunity to play here,\u201d Reid said, via USA Today\u2019s Chiefs Wire. \u201cI think it was good for Rashee (Rice) to get the practice in; he\u2019ll be away for three weeks. Then he\u2019ll be back in the building after that, to be able to work out here and just do everything but not practice, so, and then we\u2019ll get him back in the \u2013 after six weeks. But we\u2019ve got guys that are capable of playing here that we just have to go out and do it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reid admitted that it would be difficult to start the first month and a half of the season without the team\u2019s top wide receiver, but said they had talent throughout the depth chart.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot that you don\u2019t miss, Rashee,\u201d he said. \u201cI mean, he\u2019s a heck of a football player, but we have, we have other guys that are good players, too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rice had a big impact in a limited time last season. He appeared in four games, making 24 receptions for 288 yards and two touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p>The Chiefs have some challenging games during Rice\u2019s absence, including a Super Bowl rematch against the Philadelphia Eagles and games against two othe rSuper Bowl contenders in the Baltimore Ravens and Detroit Lions.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Rashee Rice: \u2018I\u2019ve Completely Changed\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>Rice has accepted responsibility for the racing incident, telling reporters earlier in August that he appreciates how the organization has stood behind him.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cAll I can do is focus on what I can control right now, and that\u2019s me doing what I do best right here on the field,\u201d Rice said, via ESPN. \u201cI learned just how valuable any opportunity and moment is. This right here, us being able to be on the field and be coached by Coach [Andy] Reid and have such a great quarterback, is honestly a gift, a blessing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve completely changed. Honestly, you have to learn from things like that. I\u2019ve taken advantage of being able to learn from something like that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Nathan Dougherty is a sports reporter covering the NFL for Heavy.com, with a focus on the Buffalo Bills, Detroit Lions and Miami Dolphins.
