Chiefs WR Rashee Rice missed practice yesterday with a groin injury. HC Andy Reid indicated that it is a minor injury and Rice currently remains out of practice as a precaution. With a possible suspension looming, injury at least doesn't look like it will affect Rice into the season.
What They're Saying
Nate Taylor of ESPN: "The reason why Rashee Rice didn't practice today -- which was mostly held indoors & without fans -- is because he has a groin injury, per the team."
Pete Sweeney of Arrowhead Pride: "Andy Reid confirmed Rashee Rice’s groin issue is considered minor, said they’re holding him out as a precaution."

This is the time of year where players get held out of practice to ensure there is no further injury.
Groin injuries can be tricky, and there seem to be a lot this year around the NFL. Keep an eye on practice reports and Rice's Week 1 practice participation as well.
Of course, a suspension could be looming for Rice sooner rather than later as a result of his two felony guilty pleas from last month.
