Suddenly, it&#8217;s possible Rice&#8217;s injury wasn&#8217;t as catastrophic as initially reported.<\/p>\n<p>Andy Reid confirmed Rice will miss Week 5 against the Saints, but Mahomes reportedly said &#8220;hopefully we&#8217;ll have him back soon.&#8221; Since Kansas City&#8217;s bye is in Week 6, the team will have a couple of weeks to evaluate things before making a decision.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think the best thing about coach Reid is he\u2019s done it with a lot of guys before, and so I have the trust that he\u2019s going to be able to get that production back,&#8221; Mahomes said. &#8220;Then hopefully we get Rashee back as time goes on, and maybe even Hollywood, we can just keep adding to the offense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If Rice isn&#8217;t out for the season, a trade may not be necessary. The Chiefs have a difficult road matchup against the 49ers in Week 7 before taking on the Raiders, Buccaneers, and Broncos. It&#8217;s not an easy schedule, though certainly not as difficult as the gauntlet Kansas City already faced.<\/p>\n<p>This team could hold steady pending on Rice&#8217;s theoretical return. They&#8217;re the only undefeated team in the AFC. If Rice misses, for example, just two months, is it worth it to forfeit draft capital to acquire a receiver?<\/p>\n<p>There are a lot of questions looming about the injury, especially given the offense is already without Isiah Pacheco and Hollywood Brown. For now, don&#8217;t expect the organization to make any rash decisions. We&#8217;ll soon have more information but with each passing day, optimism continues to grow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jan 13, 2024; Kansas City, Missouri, USA; Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (15) celebrates with wide receiver Rashee Rice (4) during the first half of a&#8230;
