Early in the first quarter of Kansas City Chiefs’ eventual Week 4 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, wide receiver Rashee Rice suffered what initially seemed to be a season-ending injury to his right knee.
Kansas City’s training staff quickly ruled Rice out for the rest of the game — and in the hours to follow, word spread that the team feared Rice had torn his ACL. But that initial diagnosis was never confirmed; now, the club needs more information.
“Rashee’s situation is — we’re getting the swelling out of his knee and then he’s got to have further tests next week,” said head coach Andy Reid on Thursday.
