Andy Reid Reacts to Rashee Rice in Chiefs Practice Before Raiders Game

As part of Rice's suspension, he was not allowed to practice with the team until after the Lions game. That means he got his first reps with the Chiefs offense during their first practice on Wednesday.

That's a significant time to not be participating, and there have been concerns Rice may not be in shape to play. However, Reid denied all of that following Kansas City's final practice of the week on Friday.

"He looks sharp," Reid said, according toCharles Goldman of A to Z Sports. "What we asked him to do, he did well. You can tell he's in good shape. That's always your worry... he busted his tail and did a nice job. Now it's a matter of getting in a game and seeing how that goes."

Since being drafted in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft, the wide receiver has played in just 20 games. Rice has racked up 103 receptions, 1,226 yards and nine touchdowns on 131 targets.

He could come in and give a big boost to the offense. Following the Chiefs' win over the Lions, tight end Travis Kelce said, “What he means as a player, as a person and to this community, we miss having him out here on the field for the first couple of games this year."

Kickoff between the Chiefs and the Raiders is Sunday at 1 p.m. ET at Arrowhead Stadium, airing on CBS.
