The Kansas City Chiefs are preparing to face the Detroit Lions in Week 6 of the NFL season. This anticipated matchup occurs at Arrowhead Stadium on ‘Sunday Night Football.’ A key player, Rashee Rice, will not be on the field for this game.
Rashee Rice’s Playing Status Against Lions
Rashee Rice has been placed on the commissioner’s exempt list as part of a six-game suspension. Consequently, he will not participate in the upcoming game against the Lions.
Expected Return
Rashee Rice is set to return to action next week. He will rejoin the team when the Chiefs go against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Chiefs WR Depth Without Rice
With Rice sidelined for Week 6, quarterback Patrick Mahomes will adjust his game plan. Several veteran wide receivers will step up in his absence:
- Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown
- Xavier Worthy
- JuJu Smith-Schuster
- Tyquan Thornton
- Nikko Remigio
The Chiefs will continue to rely on these players to maintain their offensive strategy against the Lions on Sunday night.
