The NFL has concluded its investigation into Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice. In a statement, the league said it determined Rice "has not engaged in conduct that violates the personal conduct policy." 

The league also investigated accusations brought by Rice’s ex-girlfriend, Dacoda Jones, and said that case is closed. 

The announcement means the 25-year-old will not face NFL discipline, noting "insufficient evidence to support a finding that he violated the personal conduct policy."

Rice’s attorney, Sean Lindsey, said in a statement that "Mr. Rice wants to thank the NFL for its thorough investigation and looks forward to the start of the 2026-27 NFL season."

The Chiefs declined to comment after the league’s decision Friday.

In January, Jones posted photos on social media appearing to show bruising and wounds across her body and alleged prolonged domestic abuse. The post did not name Rice or anyone else. However, Jones said her alleged abuser is her children’s father. Jones and Rice share two children.

In a since-deleted Instagram caption, Jones wrote, "I’m so tired of keeping quiet. I’m so tired of protecting his image. I’ve been through too much in a span of eight years, and I’ve had ENOUGH!" 

She said she and Rice split in 2025.

Jones filed a lawsuit in Texas in February. The suit alleges Rice repeatedly committed assault over a 1½-year span beginning in 2023. The legal action seeks damages in excess of $1 million. Jones also raised strangulation allegations she said occurred in December 2023.

"Rice has grabbed, choked, strangled, pushed, thrown, scratched, hit and headbutted Ms. Jones, as well as struck her with inanimate objects," the lawsuit states.

Lindsey disputed the claims in the lawsuit, citing a sworn statement from Jones.

"On Oct. 9, 2025, well after the parties’ relationship had ended, Ms. Jones stated under penalty of perjury in an affidavit for non-prosecution that ‘Mr. Rice and I had a verbal argument, but he did not punch me.’ We will allow the legal process to run its course."

In March 2024, Rashee Rice drove a Lamborghini Urus at 119 mph on Dallas’ North Central Expressway, triggering a multicar crash that injured multiple people. Theodore Knox, a former teammate of Rice's at SMU, was driving a Corvette. According to authorities, Rice, Knox and three others fled on foot without checking on the injured before police arrived.

Just under two weeks later, Rice publicly accepted responsibility for the incident and issued an apology. He later turned himself in to police after an arrest warrant was issued. A judge sentenced the Super Bowl winner to 30 days in jail and five years of probation for his role in the incident.

In district court, he pleaded guilty to two third-degree felony counts of a collision involving serious bodily injury and racing on a highway causing bodily injury. He was granted deferred adjudication, meaning the case will be dismissed if he successfully completes probation.

The NFL imposed a six-game suspension last season after determining Rice violated the league’s personal conduct policy in that case.
