directed toward Rashee Rice
Chiefs aware of domestic violence allegations that appear to be directed toward
Rashee Rice
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) --- The Kansas City Chiefs said in a statement Wednesday
night that they were aware of domestic violence allegations made in a series of
social media posts by a former girlfriend of wide receiver Rashee Rice and had
been in communication with the NFL.
The Chiefs did not mention Rice by name in their statement and said they would
have "no further comment at this time."
Dacoda Nichole Jones also did not mention Rice by name when she posted a series
of photos on Instagram earlier in the day that appeared to show signs of
physical abuse. Jones did say the person involved was the father of her
children, and the woman has two children with Rice, whom the Chiefs selected in
the second round of the 2023 draft.
No police reports were available in the Kansas City suburb of Overland Park,
Kansas, where Jones alleges the abuse occurred.
Rice missed the first six games this season following an NFL suspension for his
role in causing a crash on a Dallas highway that left multiple people injured
during the 2024 offseason. Rice was sentenced to 30 days in jail and five
years' probation after pleading guilty to third-degree felony charges of
collision involving serious bodily injury and racing on a highway causing
bodily injury.
Rice finished with 53 catches for 571 yards and five touchdowns as Kansas City
went 6-11 and missed the playoffs for the first time in a decade.
