Rashee Rice was jailed Tuesday after testing positive for THC in violation of his probation from a 2024 driving charge that resulted in two felonies.


Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice jailed for 30 days after probation violation and it could get worse

That is a lot of offseason mess-ups by Rice.

The latest came Tuesday when he was found to have tested positive for marijuana (THC) in violation of the July 2025 plea agreement that put him on five years probation and ordered him to serve 30 days in jail over a five-year span.

With Rice in jail for the next 30 days, he will miss the remainder of the Chiefs OTAs (May 26-28 and June 1-3) and their mandatory minicamp on June 9-11.

The violation was first uncovered by Kansas City's KSHB 41 News and confirmed by OutKick and Fox News.

"We are aware of the report and will decline further comment at this time," the NFL said.

The Chiefs didn't immediately responded to an email seeking comment.

But things could definitely get worse for Rice.

It is possible this violation of his probation agreement could trigger a new investigation under the NFL's Personal Conduct Policy.

A new Personal Conduct Policy investigation could lead to Rice missing more games when the 2026 regular season begins.

The Chiefs, meanwhile, have an obvious problem on their hands.

Rice last year pleaded guilty to a charge of collision involving serious bodily injury and racing on a highway causing bodily injury - both third-degree felonies.

Rice was unavailable for comment on Tuesday - because he's in jail.
