According to Reid’s conversation with The Kansas City Star, the Kansas City Chiefs will likely get top wide receiver Rashee Rice back in time for the start of training camp.
“He’s on track to be ready,” said Reid earlier in the week at the league meetings in Florida. “We’ll see. He’s working his tail off right now, I know.”
Rice has been out of action since tearing his LCL early in the season. He suffered the injury during the Chiefs’ Week 4 win over the Los Angeles Chargers.
“I didn’t realize how bad it was until the MRI,” Rice explained during a recent interview with Muscle & Fitness. “I always see myself as tough—just as tough as any wide receiver can be. When it happened, I figured I was just banged up and would sit out for a play or two. But the pain hit me when I started walking. I thought I could shake it off, but this time, I couldn’t get back out there.”
Rice has 103 receptions for 1,226 yards and nine touchdowns in 20 regular-season games.
