Rice’s current injury designation is shown in the live status box above, which updates automatically from the official NFL injury report. He was ruled out and inactive for Kansas City’s home game against the Chargers on Oct. 19 with the hamstring injury he suffered at Las Vegas on Oct. 4.

Before the injury, Rice had 6 catches for 102 yards and a touchdown in Weeks 1 and 2: 2-19-1 against Denver and 4-83 against Indianapolis, per CBS Sports. He played 63 snaps (79%) in Week 2, per A to Z Sports.

As of Friday, Oct. 23, our tracked feed had him ruled Out for Week 7 at Seattle after he did not practice at all this week, per DraftKings Network.

As of Wednesday, Oct. 28, Rice returned to practice for the first time since his Week 4 exit, mixing into drills on the hamstring and knee, per coach Andy Reid. Reid offered no assurances he’ll play Sunday at Denver, per RotoWire.

Rice cleared the injury report entirely by our tracked feed’s Oct. 30 update, then the same hamstring issue put him back on the report with a Questionable tag the week of Nov. 2; he returned to practicing in full by Thursday, Nov. 5, and was off the injury report again by our tracked feed’s update that evening, per Arrowhead Pride.

Fantasy Action: Rice is off the injury report as of our tracked feed’s latest update, so treat him as a full-strength WR2 behind Travis Kelce and Xavier Worthy in the Chiefs’ passing game; check the live status box above before locking your Week 9 lineup in case anything changes before kickoff.
