Last year\u2019s Chiefs team still managed to reach the Super Bowl as the AFC representative. Yet, this year\u2019s team is expected to be even better.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the Chiefs will have to start the season without one of their top receivers, Rashee Rice. Though Rice\u2019s suspension has not officially been announced, Sports Illustrated\u2019s Albert Breer believes he\u2019ll be suspended for five or six games.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cRice has looked fantastic. The Chiefs think he can be a top-10 receiver. Yes, there is the likelihood he\u2019ll be suspended five or six games. Kansas City can make it work until then, and Rice is more than capable of making the wait worth it. Add to that a more experienced Xavier Worthy and (fingers crossed) healthier Brown, and the skill group should be ready to help Mahomes and the coaches reach their stated goal of reigniting the downfield passing game, which will only make Rice and Travis Kelce more dangerous underneath.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><cite>SI\u2019s Albert Breer on Rashee Rice<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Rice\u2019s eventual suspension stems from his March arrest for his involvement in a multi-vehicle crash, leading to charges for aggravated assault and collision involving major injury.<\/p>\n<p>Once suspended, Rice will no longer be able to practice with the team, so he\u2019ll still need some time to get back into game shape. However, he\u2019ll get some help by being able to resume full team activities during the second half of his suspension.<\/p>\n<p>Rice was limited to just four games last season due to a torn ACL, but he still managed to record 288 receiving yards and two touchdowns on 28 receptions. Still, after averaging 58.6 yards per game as a rookie, Rice managed to increase his production to 72 yards per game in his second season, which is why the Chiefs are so excited about his future.<\/p>\n<p>Without Rice, the Chiefs will undoubtedly rely more on Travis Kelce, receivers Xavier Worthy, Hollywood Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Skyy Moore, and whoever else makes the final roster. While Rice will be missed, he won\u2019t take up a spot on the active roster during his suspension, allowing another receiver to earn extra opportunities in his absence.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although the Kansas City Chiefs aren\u2019t starting this season looking to threepeat as Super Bowl champions, Andy Reid\u2019s team is<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":30331,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[1623,1564,135,152,19,447,1831,36],"class_list":["post-30330","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kansas-city-chiefs","tag-albert-breer","tag-hollywood-brown","tag-juju-smith-schuster","tag-kansas-city","tag-kansas-city-chiefs","tag-rashee-rice","tag-skyy-moore","tag-travis-kelce"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>BREAKING : \ud83d\udea8 Kansas City Chiefs Starter Facing Shockingly Long Suspension \u2013 What Happened?
