Rice will not face NFL action after probe into abuse claims
The NFL will not discipline Kansas City Chiefs star Rashee Rice after finding insufficient evidence he violated league conduct policy amid claims he assaulted his ex-girlfriend, a spokesman said Friday.
Rice's former partner Dacoda Jones has accused the wide receiver of multiple assaults over a span of 18 months between 2023 and 2025, including when she was pregnant.
In a civil lawsuit filed in February, she sought more than $1 million in damages for "severe and permanent injuries."
She also posted photos of herself with a bloodied lip, scratches and bruises in a now-deleted Instagram post, which did not name her alleged attacker.
The National Football League opened its own probe into the allegations, and Friday said the wide receiver had not been found in violation of the league's personal conduct policy.
"There was insufficient evidence to support a finding that he violated the personal conduct policy," spokesman Brian McCarthy said in a statement to AFP.
Rice has not been criminally charged in the matter, and the civil case is still pending.
In her lawsuit, Jones alleged that Rice "grabbed, choked, strangled, pushed, thrown, scratched, hit, and headbutted" her, as well as hitting her with inanimate objects.
"Additionally, he has engaged in other violent and abusive behaviors towards Ms. Jones, including throwing objects, destroying property, punching walls, and breaking furniture, as well as locking her out in the middle of the night.
"Many of these behaviors occurred while Ms. Jones was pregnant."
At the time the lawsuit was filed, Rice's lawyer Sean Lindsey said Jones had previously given a sworn statement that Rice had not struck her.
On Friday, Lindsey sent a statement to US media thanking the NFL for its investigation.
Jones has two children with 25-year-old Rice, a talented pass-catcher who won a Super Bowl in 2024 at the end of his rookie year with the Chiefs.
In 2025, Rice served a six-game suspension after his conviction for causing a multi-vehicle collision the previous year.
Rice pleaded guilty to felony charges of collision involving serious bodily injury and racing on a highway causing bodily injury.
