A high-speed car accident in Dallas was a topic of serious discussion around the NFL this weekend after Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was connected with the incident. The Dallas Morning News on Sunday morning reported that a vehicle registered to him was involved in the crash.
In response, Rice has hired attorney Royce West, who released a statement on the matter Monday afternoon, just a day after the incident.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter shared the statement on his X account.

Since yesterday, there haven’t been any concrete details to report amid the many assumptions swirling on social media. Whether Rice himself was involved in the incident is still unclear. For now, the statement posted by Schefter serves as the only acknowledgment of the incident by the wide receiver.
As details become available, this story will be updated.
