Through the first three weeks, no wide receiver had as many receiving yards as Rashee Rice, but his current total is likely to stay there for the foreseeable future.
Rice injured his leg in the first quarter of the Chiefs-Chargers game after colliding with Mahomes following an interception.
Mahomes threw an interception to Chargers cornerback Kristian Fulton, and in an effort to stop him, Mahomes leaned with his shoulder toward Fulton’s lower half, but amid missing him, he hit Rice’s right knee.
Rashee Rice had to be carted off the field after an ugly-looking knee injury, and according to James Palmer of Bleacher Report, there’s concern that he suffered a season-ending ACL tear.
It is feared #chiefs

The second-year pro out of SMU entered Week 4 with 23 receptions on 29 targets for 288 yards and two receiving touchdowns, but did not record any catches on Sunday before his injury.
The Chiefs won the game but lost so much more with the loss of Rice.
He was by far the most targeted receiver on the Chiefs’ offense. He made up for the fact that Travis Kelce was off to a slow start.
Without Rashee Rice — Travis Kelce finally emerged as he hauled in seven catches for 89 yards.
The Chiefs are going to go back to leaning on Kelce for the foreseeable future.
Who Can The Chiefs Replace Rashee Rice With?
The Chiefs desperately need to bring in somebody to replace Rashee Rice.
After blossoming as the No. 1 pass-catching option for the Kansas City Chiefs early in the 2024 NFL season, the wide receiver left Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers after suffering a knee injury when quarterback Patrick Mahomes collided with the second-year receiver.
He is now feared to have a torn ACL and may be done for the year.
The Chiefs will likely consider all available trades to give Patrick Mahomes everything he wants and needs to ensure the team stays on top.
Travis Kelce Used One Word To Describe His Whirlwind Relationship With Taylor Swift

Travis Kelce is proud to have girlfriend Taylor Swift by his side, and he doesn’t mind that the whole world is watching.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been dating since at least September 2023 when she shocked everybody by showing up to Arrowhead Stadium. The move came months after Kelce first publicly expressed interest in Swift, after attending one of her concerts and failing to send a friendship bracelet to her with his number on it.
Travis Kelce knows just how obsessed the world is with his relationship.
“I’m very aware,” Kelce said when asked whether he understands the “impact” his romance with Taylor Swift was having on the NFL.
“Obviously, this is mostly because Taylor’s in my life now and we got her [to be] part of Chiefs Kingdom,” he explained in a resurfaced interview with sports reporter Laura Okmin ahead of the Super Bowl.
“And sure enough, that brought an entire entourage of human beings who just love to support her and love to support everything that she’s about.”
He used an incredible word to describe their relationship.
“With that being said, I do, you know, have a guarded approach to it,” he explained before Super Bowl 58. “But at the same time, I know what me and Taylor have is special, so I get [the interest].”
Taylor Swift was spotted at 13 of Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs football games this past season, first popping up in a box at Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri on Sept. 24, 2023. The team won 10 of the 13 games at which she’s been in attendance.
That also included the team winning playoff games over the Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens, and then the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl.
Kelce finished the Super Bowl with nine receptions for 93 yards, including a crucial catch in overtime.
The 34-year-old slowed down slightly in 2023, finishing with 93 catches for 984 yards and five touchdowns. It should be noted he did miss two games, Week 1 due to injury and Week 17 as he chose to sit out with the Chiefs not playing for anything.
