A suspension for wide receiver Rashee Rice had been hanging over the Kansas City Chiefs like an anvil. It was eventually going to fall but, for a moment, it was unclear when it was going to come down and how long the ban would ultimately be.

Rice and his former SMU teammate, Theodore Knox, were racing sports cars on a Dallas freeway in April 2024 when they crashed, causing a chain-reaction involving six cars. Authorities said the crash happened shortly after 6 p.m. on March 30, 2024, during rush hour traffic as Rice drove a 2020 Lamborghini Urus SUV at 119 mph.
