Rashee Rice has been sentenced to 30 days in jail for violating probation by testing positive for marijuana, linked to the 2024 Dallas crash case in which he was racing a Lamborghini and fled the scene.

The jail term was ordered by the Texas State Attorney’s Office and Rice is to begin serving immediately, with a release set for mid-June; Chiefs minicamp is scheduled for early June.

Prosecutors indicated Rice must report to jail right away, and the sentence is effectively the fulfillment of the 30-day punishment originally imposed.

The Chiefs declined to comment, and NFL officials said they would not provide further comment at this time.

ESPN and other outlets reported that the jail term will fulfill the 30-day sentence rather than adding extra punishment.

Rice’s legal team expressed gratitude for the NFL’s investigation, noting a sworn affidavit from October 2025 where the accuser said there was no punching incident, with ongoing proceedings referenced.

Over the past year, Rice has faced civil suits including a mother of his children alleging injuries; the NFL found insufficient evidence for criminal or league discipline so far.

Separately, Rice has faced civil actions from Kayla Quinn and others accusing assaults; the NFL has indicated ongoing legal processes without further comment from his attorney.

Rice’s attorney did not respond to requests for comment, and the NFL has acknowledged awareness of the report but offered no additional statements.

The suspension and probation violation could affect Rice’s standing with the Chiefs and his leverage in the contract year ahead.

Rice was a 2023 second-round pick entering the final year of his rookie contract with the Chiefs.

Texas authorities confirmed the jail sentence and timing of the release.
