Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was sentenced this week to five years’ probation and 30 days in jail

"After the collision, Mr. Rice failed to check on the welfare of the victims and fled on foot," Dallas County prosecutors said.

The Chiefs first seven games are against the Los Angeles Chargers, the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, New York Giants, Baltimore Ravens, Jacksonville Jaguars, Detroit Lions and Las Vegas Raiders. If Rice is suspended seven games, he would be able to make his return on October 27 against the Washington Commanders .
