Head coach Andy Reid said that Rice (concussion) won't participate in Tuesday's practice, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rice hasn't practiced in any fashion since reporting concussion symptoms following the Chiefs' Week 15 loss to the Chargers. Given the unlikelihood that he'll be deemed ready to take contact Wednesday and clear the five-step concussion protocol prior to Thursday's matchup with the Broncos, Rice looks on track to miss a second straight game.

Rice (concussion) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate.

EDGE Analysis

Rice entered the concussion protocol last week and hasn't logged any on-field work, real or otherwise, since then. With just three days remaining before Thursday's matchup with the Broncos, he seems like a stretch to gain clearance from an independent neurologist to be able to suit up for Week 17 action. Fellow WR Tyquan Thornton (concussion) also was listed as a DNP on Monday, so the Chiefs' current healthy options at the position are Xavier Worthy, Hollywood Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Nikko Remigio and Jalen Royals.

Rice (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Titans.

EDGE Analysis

The same applies to Tyquan Thornton (concussion), which leaves Xavier Worthy, Hollywood Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster in line to lead the Chiefs' Week 16 WR corps, with Nikko Remigio and Jalen Royals also in the mix. Rice's next opportunity to play will arrive in his team's Dec. 25 contest against the Broncos.

Coach Andy Reid said Rice (concussion) didn't practice Friday, Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rice emerged from this past Sunday's loss to the Chargers with concussion symptoms and wasn't able to practice in any capacity as the Chiefs prepare for this Sunday's game at Tennessee. Reid relayed that he'll meet with Kansas City's training staff in the near future to determine who will be ruled out for Week 16 action, but because Rice has made no notable progress through the protocol for head injuries, he seems destined to be out this weekend.

Rice (concussion) won't practice Thursday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rice will sit out a second consecutive practice Thursday, having also missed Wednesday's session after reporting concussion symptoms Monday. To have any chance at clearing the NFL's five-step concussion protocol prior to Sunday's game against the Titans, Rice would have to upgrade to full participation Friday and gain clearance from an independent neurologist, so his chances of suiting up Sunday look slim. Xavier Worthy could work as the top wide receiver for a Chiefs team that has been eliminated from playoff contention and will start Gardner Minshew at quarterback.

Rice (concussion) won't practice Wednesday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Per Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com, Rice reported concussion symptoms Monday and the wideout is now in the NFL's concussion protocol as Sunday's game against the Titans approaches. He now has two more chances to practice before the Chiefs' Week 16 game statuses are posted, but with the team eliminated from playoff contention, look for caution to be exercised with both Rice and fellow WR Tyquan Thornton, who is also in the protocol.

Rice brought in seven of 11 targets for 51 yards in the Chiefs' 16-13 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Rice tied for the team lead in receptions and set the pace in targets while checking in second in receiving yards. The Chiefs' No. 1 receiver and the rest of his skill-position teammates now have an uncertain outlook for the remainder of the season, given it appears Patrick Mahomes suffered a serious knee injury in the fourth quarter that figures to sideline him the rest of the way. However, even if Gardner Minshew is under center for Kansas City's final three games, Rice figures to remain a top target.

Rice had four receptions on eight targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 20-10 loss to Houston.

EDGE Analysis

Rice struggled with drops on Sunday Night Football, finishing with his worst catch rate (50 percent) through seven starts this season. Kansas City's top wideout still led the club in targets, but the offense simply ran into the buzzsaw that is the Texans' defense in 2025. Rice is still putting together a dominant fantasy campaign in a suspension-shortened season, sporting a 46-520-5 receiving line across seven games. Fantasy managers should continue starting Rice with confidence in next Sunday's matchup against the Chargers.

Rice caught eight of 12 targets for 92 yards and two touchdowns in Thursday's 31-28 loss to the Cowboys. He added two rushing yards on his lone carry.

EDGE Analysis

It's the second two-TD performance in six games this season for Rice, who hauled in the first and last of Patrick Mahomes' four touchdown passes on the afternoon. The 12 targets also tied Rice's season high, and he'll take an impressive 42-486-5 line on 59 targets into a tough Week 14 clash with the Texans.

Rice (hamstring) was a full practice participant Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Coming out of a Week 12 win over the Colts in which Rice recorded eight catches for a season-high 141 yards on 12 targets, the Chiefs gauged him as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report. The hamstring issue evidently isn't a major concern for Rice, whose upgrade to full participation Tuesday sets the stage for him to play Thursday against the Cowboys. With running back Isiah Pacheco (knee) and wideout Xavier Worthy (ankle) also practicing fully, the Chiefs are expected to have their full complement of skill-position players available in Week 13, save for No. 2 tight end Noah Gray (concussion).
