KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Kansas City Chiefs and wide receiver Rashee Rice have "a lot of optimism'' that his knee injury isn't as significant as initially feared and that his recovery timeline could be "much shorter'' than first believed, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday

It's still unlikely Rice will play again this season, but doctors will not know for sure until they perform surgery Tuesday morning, the source said.

Rice injured his right knee in the Chiefs' Week 4 win over the Los Angeles Chargers.
