KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The NFL announced Friday that it concluded its own investigation into Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice, stating that he "has not engaged in conduct that violates the personal conduct policy." The NFL also said its investigation into the accusations from Dacoda Jones, Rice's former girlfriend, is closed.
At this time, Rice, 25, is not going to be disciplined by the league, which determined that "there was insufficient evidence to support a finding that he violated the personal conduct policy."
"Mr. Rice wants to thank the NFL for their thorough investigation, and looks forward to the start of the 2026-27 NFL season," Sean Lindsey, Rice's attorney, said in a statement.
The Chiefs had no comment on the NFL's decision Friday.
In early January, Jones posted photos on her Instagram account that show bruises and wounds on multiple parts of her body, alleging abuse for numerous years. Jones didn't name Rice or anyone else in the post, but she says that the person who abused her is the father of her children. Jones has two children with Rice.
