Chiefs WR Rashee Rice’s Injury May Not Be as Bad as Initially Expected: Report [Video]

The injury to Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice may not be as bad as initially expected. On Monday, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported, “After further testing on Rice’s knee, there remains uncertainty over the extent of the injury.”

Schefter adds, “After consulting with team doctors and receiving second opinions, more tests are required to determine the full extent of Rice’s injury and his recovery timeline.” According to Schefter, the team isn’t expecting to have an answer until next week.

This doesn’t exactly feel like bad news, as the Chiefs feared Rice had torn his ACL, which would keep him out for the rest of the season. However, the team instead needs to run more tests before determining the severity of the injury.

While he still could very well have a torn ACL, it seems like a positive update that the Chiefs aren’t yet sure what it is after initial testing.
