After starting his season with a six-game suspension and ending it on injured reserve due to lingering concussion symptoms, Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice may not be done with his legal troubles. According to Nick Sloan of KMBC 9 News, Rice is being accused of domestic violence by Dacoda Nichole, his ex-girlfriend of eight years. 
In the post, Nichole displayed a series of photos showing injuries she alleges were caused by Rice. The text of the post claimed that the alleged abuse has been ongoing throughout the span of their eight-year relationship. Rice has not been charged with anything to this point, but it’s at the point where the league will intervene and investigate.
The Chiefs released a statement (per Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star), saying, “The club is aware of the allegations on social media and is in communication with the National Football League. We have no further comment at this time.”
Rice is no stranger to legal troubles. His six-game absence to open the season stemmed from a series of incidents in the 2024 offseason. It started when Rice was the driver of vehicle that caused a chain reaction collision, and Rice was chose to hit and run. He ended up taking a plea bargain pleading guilty to two third-degree felonies for collision involving serious bodily injury and racing on a highway causing bodily injury. He followed that up with an incident at a club in Dallas, where he allegedly punched a photographer, though no arrests were made or charges filed.
Again, no charges have been filed with today’s allegations, either, but the charges may not be totally necessary for the NFL to take action. As Rice is starting to become a bit of a frequent flier with the league’s disciplinary committees, the results of their investigations may be enough for them to choose to levy another suspension.
