Chiefs’ Rashee Rice provides an update on how he’s progressing from knee injury
During one of his multiple news conferences last week ahead of Super Bowl LIX, coach Andy Reid was asked about the health of the Chiefs’ receiving corps heading into the game against the Eagles without Rashee Rice.
During the Chiefs’ win over the Chargers at SoFi Stadium in September, Rice was injured while trying to make a tackle. The lateral collateral ligament in Rice’s left knee required surgery and he missed the rest of the season.
Reid provided a positive update on Rice.
“Rashee is doing well,” Reid said in New Orleans. “He’s healing up good, which is positive for next year.”
In an interview with Muscle and Fitness, Rice said his knee is “doing great.”
“I’ve focused on mobility and balancing, incorporating kettlebells and lighter weights for squats,” Rice said. “I didn’t even realize that I was enhancing my range of motion.”
Rice, who had 24 receptions for 288 yards in the three full games he played in 2024, described the special type of workouts he’s been doing in an effort to strengthen his knee.
It’s called blood flow restriction (BFR) training.
“It’s a great tool, but it really hurts,” he told the website. “Still, I love BFR by the time I get done.”
