There remains a glimmer of hope for the Kansas City Chiefs regarding injured wide receiver Rashee Rice.
Rice suffered a serious knee injury during the Chiefs’ Week 4 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif. The second-year pro was carted off the field after a freak collision with quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
The initial fear was that Rice had suffered a season-ending knee injury. While the Chiefs have shelved their top wideout for now, the team is reportedly holding out hope that Rice could return this season.
The Chiefs are still awaiting a final determination on the extent of Rice’s injury, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Doctors are expected to have a better idea of Rice’s potential timetable for a return on Monday when the 24-year-old undergoes a knee procedure.
Per the report, there’s buzz that Rice could return this season after a 6-8 week stint on the sidelines.
The Rice update is welcome news for Chiefs fans, who are still reeling from the team losing another top receiver to injury earlier this season.
Rice has been the Chiefs’ most vital receiver this season by a wide margin. Through four games, he leads the team in targets (29), receptions (24) and receiving yards (288). Rice also has 15 first downs gained, which is more than double any other Chief.

UConn needed one final stop Saturday to beat Temple. The Huskies got the stop they needed and a whole lot more.
UConn held a precarious 23-20 lead over Temple in the closing seconds at Pratt & Whitney Stadium in East Hartford, Conn.
The game came down to one last play as Temple had 4th-and-1 at UConn’s 1-yard line. The visitors ran a tush push play to try shoving in a game-winning touchdown.
But as Owls quarterback Forrest Brock tried to squeeze his way into the end zone, the ball cartoonishly squirted away from the dogpile. Huskies cornerback Jordan Wright picked it up and ran all the way to the other end zone for a touchdown.
Wright could have simply slid down and ended the game right then and there. But when you have a shot at a 96-yard scoop-and-score with minimal risk of losing the game, you take it. The defensive TD sealed a 29-20 win for the Huskies.
No team had led by more than four points before UConn took a nine-point edge with the game clock at zero.
The win preserved UConn’s unbeaten record at home. The Huskies improved to 4-0 within the friendly confines of Pratt & Whitney Stadium and will remain home for their next three contests.
