Rashee Rice's Jail Sentence Puts Xavier Worthy on the Hot Seat in Kansas City
The Kansas City Chiefs enter the 2026 season with a clear offensive mission, and the spotlight now shines on rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy. Worthy is expected to become one of Patrick Mahomes' primary targets as the team looks to replace the production lost from Rashee Rice.
Rice has been sentenced to a 30‑day jail term for violating probation, sidelining him from offseason workouts. The suspension disrupts the Chiefs' timing drills and route‑running sessions.
Chiefs officials remain confident that Worthy will step up while Rice returns in time for training camp.
