The Kansas City Chiefs still haven’t revealed key details about the knee injury that wide receiver Rashee Rice sustained in the defending champions’ win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday.
While Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has made it clear that Kansas City is monitoring Rice, and that an update will be provided when the team is certain of his status, one member of the media had some good news to report on Thursday.
Pete Sweeney, Editor-in-Chief of Arrowhead Pride, told his followers on Twitter that he saw Rice “walking about normally” in Kansas City’s locker room this afternoon, and indicated that the star pass catcher was not in crutches.
Spotted Rashee Rice in the Chiefs locker room. Rice’s right leg was wrapped in a full leg sleeve, and he was walking about normally without crutches. He won’t be available to the media until he recovers. https://t.co/GesBtTP66k

Though Sweeney’s observation hardly indicates that Rice’s injury isn’t severe, it does bode well for the Chiefs that he can walk without assistance.
Stay tuned to see if Kansas City makes any further announcements about Rice’s injury status ahead of the Chiefs’ Week 5 matchup against the New Orleans Saints on “Monday Night Football.”
