NFL Ends Personal Conduct Policy Investigation on Rashee Rice

The NFL has cleared Kansas City receiver Rashee Rice in a probe tied to domestic violence allegations. The league found no violation of its Personal Conduct Policy in the matter.

League decision and reporting

The outcome was reported by Adam Schefter of Filmogaz.com. The NFL concluded its investigation did not produce evidence warranting discipline.

Statements from Rice’s camp

Rice’s attorney, Sean Lindsey, praised the league’s review as thorough. He said Rice is grateful and looks ahead to the 2026-27 season.

Legal case remains active

The inquiry began in January after social-media allegations surfaced. A civil lawsuit was filed in February and remains pending against Rice.

If the plaintiff wins the lawsuit, the NFL could revisit the case. A later adverse legal ruling might prompt new disciplinary action.

Background and stakes

Rice missed six games during the 2025 season after a Personal Conduct Policy suspension. That penalty stemmed from a street-racing incident reported more than two years ago.

Because of the prior suspension, Rice faced the possibility of enhanced penalties as a repeat offender. For now, the league has closed its probe into Rice without further discipline.

What happens next

With the investigation concluded, Rice and the Chiefs can prepare for the upcoming season. The unresolved civil suit, however, leaves a potential future risk.
