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]
Not sure the juice would be worth the squeeze. The risk of re-injury very likely outweighs the difference what he would currently offer the team over what Worthy, Brown, JuJu and Hopkins already do.
But I can’t lie. I’d be excited as hell if it were announced that they are opening the practice window and he somehow found a way to get in the rotation and provided another spark to the offense. [Reply]
As long as he wouldn't be bumping someone else off the roster that we really need, I'd be ok with it. If he did nothing else but run the the Philly DBs really hard, he'd be accomplishing something for the team. He'd be helping to keep the other receivers legs a little fresher. [Reply]

I mean, Justyn Ross was on the active roster so he’d just take his place. I’d say it’s a long shot but even having him out there as a decoy would be good. [Reply]

Ross was elevated from the practice squad but was not active for the game. [Reply]

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.
That's an ice cold take.
There's zero way he comes back now. Let him rest for next year. [Reply]
