Reports: Chiefs’ Rashee Rice jailed for probation violation

By Thomson Reuters May 19, 2026 | 2:48 PM

Kansas City Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice was ordered to serve 30 days in jail after violating his ​probation with a positive test for ‌marijuana, multiple outlets reported on Tuesday.

Rice was booked Tuesday afternoon in Dallas County, Texas, and is due to be released on June ‌16. ​The timeline means he ⁠will miss organized team ⁠activities and a mandatory minicamp.

Kansas City’s KSHB 41 News broke the story and obtained a copy of the court ​documents, which show that Rice tested positive for THC.

The Chiefs have yet ⁠to comment.

Rice was on ⁠probation for his role in ​a street-racing crash that left multiple people injured ​on a Dallas highway in March ‌of 2024. He pleaded guilty last July to two third-degree felonies and was sentenced to five years of probation and ⁠deferred adjudication on a 30-day jail sentence.

The NFL suspended Rice for six games to start ⁠the 2025 ‌season for violating the league’s ⁠personal conduct policy.

Rice, 26, caught ​53 ‌passes for 571 yards and ​five touchdowns ⁠in eight games last season. A second-round pick by the Chiefs in 2023, Rice has 156 receptions for 1,797 yards and 14 scores in 28 career games.
