KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Rashee Rice had posterolateral corner surgery on his injured right knee, Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid said on Monday.
The timeframe for Rice's return is similar to if he had reconstructive ACL surgery, Reid said. Ten to 12 months is generally considered a realistic return time after ACL surgery.
"It takes a while for that to come back,'' Reid said. "He'll get into his rehab and get rolling on that as we go here.''
Rice was injured in a Week 4 game against the Los Angeles Chargers when quarterback Patrick Mahomes accidentally collided with his knee while the two were chasing a fumble that followed an interception.
Rice entered the Week 4 games leading the NFL in receptions with 24. He was second in yards with 288. [Reply]
Scorching hot take here, but i'm not sure i'd want to activate him even if he was cleared.
A guy who barely played all season trying to get into game shape and getting his first live reps in months in the Super Bowl kind of seems like a recipe for disaster.
Miscommunication on a route or having a ball bounce off his hands for an INT kind of deal where he makes an error simply due to being rusty.
Idk, He almost certainly isn't playing regardless but I would just ride with the guys that got us here at this point and save Rashee for the start of next season. [Reply]
