The Chiefs star apologized to all those impacted by the ordeal.

“Last March, I was involved in a high-speed accident in Dallas,” Rice said in his statement. “There have been a lot of sleepless nights thinking about the damages that my actions caused, and I will continue working within my means to make sure that everyone impacted will be made whole. I urge everyone to mind the speed limit, drive safe and drive smart.

“Last and certainly not least, I am profoundly sorry for the physical damages to person and property. I fully apologize for the harm I caused to innocent drivers and their families.”

The question now is whether the NFL and or the Chiefs will hand down their own punishment for this off-the-field incident. There seems to be a chance of that happening, as he could face a lengthy suspension heading into the 2025 campaign.
