The NFL is opting against placing Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice on the Commssioner’s Exempt List, allowing him to play for the Chiefs despite an offseason arrest on multiple chargers stemming from March car crash that left several injured.
According to the Washington Post’s Mark Maske, the league has decided not to punish Rice until his legal situation is settled.
The NFL is not expected to put Rashee Rice on paid leave via placement on the commissioner’s exempt list. The league is expected to make a decision about a possible suspension of Rice once the legal process plays out, source says, leaving him eligible to play in the meantime.
