Earlier today, it was reported that Rice had “retained legal counsel” following the emergence of the dashcam footage.
It’s unclear if Rice has yet to be in contact with law enforcement, although the statement from Rice’s attorney seems to indicate that he has been.
Rice was a rookie out of SMU for the Kansas City Chiefs last season as he helped them to a second consecutive Super Bowl championship.
For the 2023 regular season, Rice finished had 938 receiving yards and seven receiving touchdowns on 79 catches over 16 games.
