On Tuesday, a source confirmed to Arrowhead Pride that Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice underwent successful surgery to repair the lateral collateral ligament (LCL) in his right knee.
The good news for Rice is that there was determined to be no damage to his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), medial collateral ligament (MCL) or meniscus, which means that the wide receiver avoided long-term damage. The repair also comes with a faster recovery time.
At this stage, Rice’s recovery time is estimated to be four months, but it could reasonably stretch longer. The Chiefs expect to have a better sense of an exact timeline for Rice's return in December.
