Rashee Rice Set For Surgery Next Week To Determine Damage

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice will undergo arthroscopic surgery early next week to get a better look at the damage to his right knee, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "As of now, it appears there is only a small chance that the electric second-year player can possibly return this season," Rapoport writes. Next week's procedure could reveal anything from a fully torn ACL and other ligament damage to damage to the PCL and/or LCL but no ACL injury. Depending on the findings, Rice's timeline for return could be anywhere from 4-6 weeks to 9 months. "The chances of testing showing the 4-6 week version appear slim, but not zero," Rapoport adds. Rice owners should continue holding him for now. Hopefully we get a concrete update on his status before waivers run next week.
