The Kansas City Chiefs are waiting for receiver Rashee Rice for now.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the results of tests on Rice’s injured knee are inconclusive. Schefter said: “Following further tests on Rashee Rice’s knee, there remains uncertainty about the extent of his injury, according to sources. After consulting with team doctors and obtaining second opinions, further testing will be required to determine the full extent of Rice and his injury.” No answers are expected until next week.

Rice’s knee injury looked serious when quarterback Patrick Mahomes hit his right leg while trying to make a tackle after a turnover on Sunday. Rice was being transported away and many feared the worst. This latest update doesn’t necessarily mean good news for the Chiefs, but there may still be hope that Rice isn’t lost for this season.

In the first three weeks of the 2024 campaign, Rice had emerged as Mahomes’ top target. He had 24 catches for 288 yards and two touchdowns. The second-year receiver posted two 100-yard games and caught 12 passes for 110 yards and a touchdown in Week 3 and appeared to be solidifying himself as the bona fide No. 1 receiver for Kansas City’s prolific passing attack.

If Rice is out for the season, the Chiefs may have to find a replacement receiver via a trade. Currently, the depth chart is topped by rookie Xavier Worthy, Justin Watson, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Skyy Moore and Mecole Hardman. Postseason pickup Hollywood Brown is expected to miss the regular season.

The Chiefs will apparently have to wait a bit longer to know the full situation with Rice’s injury.
