Chiefs not limiting Rashee Rice's training camp participation despite jail sentence, potential NFL suspension
Kansas City Chiefs players are reporting to training camp Monday, including third-year wide receiver Rashee Rice, despite his jail sentence and a possible NFL suspension looming. Last week, Rice, 25, was sentenced to five years probation and 30 days of jail time by a Dallas County judge, per the Dallas County District Attorney's Office. Rice pled guilty to two third-degree felony charges related to his role in a multi-car crash that injured multiple people on a Dallas highway last year. "We're going to progress as normal with him," Chiefs head coach Andy Reid told reporters Sunday. "He'll go in and take all the reps that he'd normally take. We always rotate that position. So depending on what happens here in the future, whoever needs to play will be able step in, and they'll know what they are doing and be in good shape to do it." While a suspension is widely expected, Reid said Sunday he didn't know when the NFL would decide on a potential punishment for Rice. Because the plea deal Rice took includes deferred probation, his case will be dismissed if he successfully completes probation. His 30 days of jail time can be served at any point of his five years on probation, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported last week. Rice was ruled to pay medical expenses totaling $115,481.91 for all the victims involved in the chain-reaction car crash he and then-SMU cornerback Teddy Knox caused by speeding during rush hour traffic on March 30, 2024. Rice was going 119 mph in a Lamborghini Urus SUV prior to first impact and made "multiple aggressive maneuvers around traffic", per the DA's office. He didn't check on the people in the cars affected by the collision and then fled on foot. Rice's lawyer, Royce West, released a statement on Rice's behalf last week in the media release from the DA's office. "Last March, I was involved in a high-speed accident in Dallas. There have been a lot of sleepless nights thinking about the damages that my actions caused, and I will continue working within my means to make sure that everyone impacted will be made whole. I urge everyone to mind the speed limit, drive safe and drive smart," Rice said in the statement. "Last and certainly not least, I am profoundly sorry for the physical damages to person and property. I fully apologize for the harm I caused to innocent drivers and their families." After catching 24 passes for 288 yards and 2 touchdowns in four games to start the 2024 season, Rice went on injured reserve in early October. Then he had season-ending LCL surgery. The former second-round pick's sophomore season was cut short, following an impressive rookie campaign that saw the SMU product reel in 79 passes for 938 yards and 7 touchdowns. Reid said Sunday that he and his staff will keep an eye on Rice's knee in training camp. Rice participated in Chiefs' voluntary OTAs and mandatory minicamp.

Bengals face uncertainty with Trey Hendrickson and Shemar Stewart ahead of start of training camp
CINCINNATI (AP) — Coach Zac Taylor hopes Trey Hendrickson and Shemar Stewart will be his starting defensive ends when the Bengals open the season on Sept. 7 at Cleveland. The odds of both players being on the field when training camp practices open on Wednesday though are slim. Stewart, the 17th overall pick in April's draft, did not report with the rest of Cincinnati's rookies on Saturday. The Bengals' veterans, including Hendrickson, are scheduled to report on Tuesday. 'Those two guys are guys I have tremendous regard for. Trey and Shemar, we wouldn't have them here if we didn't believe in them as people and players,' owner Mike Brown said on Monday. 'Things like this happen in the NFL. We accept it. We don't internalize it. We're not trying to hold grudges or anything like that. We have to do what's best for our football team. If I thought we were being unfair in ways, it would be a different story. But I don't.' Taylor said he talked to Hendrickson a couple of days ago, but wasn't sure if he would see him this week. Hendrickson was an All-Pro selection last season after he led the league with 17 1/2 sacks. He did not attend last month's mandatory minicamp, but did make an appearance during an offseason workout in May to vent his frustrations about negotiations. Hendrickson is seeking a long-term extension with an amount of guaranteed money that matches what the league's top pass rushers are earning. He is scheduled to earn $15.8 million in base salary and has a cap number of $18.7 million. 'He's earned a raise and an extension, and we'll continue to see if we can come together on something,' director of player personnel Duke Tobin said. 'Having good players is a good problem to have, and we've got a lot of good players, and we've got a lot of highly paid players, and fitting it together is what we're working for.' Tobin took an opposite approach in discussing Stewart, who is the only first-round pick who hasn't signed. The Bengals and Stewart are deadlocked over contract language that could potentially void future guarantees if there are any off-field incidents. Other teams have had that language, but this is the first time Cincinnati is trying to include that provision with a first-round pick. 'It's a very peculiar thing, it isn't about money. That's been agreed to for months,' Brown said. "It is a negotiation that has reached the level of, I can only think of a word I shouldn't use here, but it's silliness. We'll have to wait until we get a better result. I think eventually that's going to happen. I don't think it's going to happen today or tomorrow, but at some point it will.' The two sides though have been at odds since Stewart was drafted on April 24. Stewart did not sign an injury waiver to practice with teammates during offseason workouts while still unsigned, a rare move by a rookie player. 'I think Shemar needs to be here. The number one thing a young player can do is have a fast start and have a good rookie season. That normally translates into a long productive NFL career and he needs to be here getting to work on it,' Tobin said. Tobin tried to deflect blaming Stewart, instead going after his agent, Zac Hiller. 'He's listening to the advice that he's paying for. I don't understand or believe or agree with the advice. But I'm not the one paying for it,' Tobin said. 'If I thought we were treating him unfairly as it relates to all the other draft picks in this year's draft, then maybe it'd be a different story. But we're not. Again, I don't fully understand where things are there.' Hiller said in a text message to The Associated Press: 'Duke Tobin has had no involvement in this negotiation. It seems to be above his pay grade.' Defensive coordinator Al Golden is hoping to see both players as soon as possible. The Bengals (9-8 last season) finished 25th in the league in total defense (348.3 yards allowed per game) and lost four games last season in which they scored at least 30 points. 'I think the transition will be easier for Trey, cause we're gonna ask him to do things that are in the realm of his skill set, whereas Shamar has to learn our core fundamentals and implement everything that he's learned off the field and on the field, so that's gonna take some time,' said Golden, who is in his first year as defensive coordinator. 'There's a time constraint on what he's done on the field and obviously we need to get him out there and and get him going.' ___ AP NFL:

Jerry Jones comments on Micah Parsons contract talks: 'You can get hit by a car'
The Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach, offensive coordinator and defensive play-caller for the 2025 NFL season. Cowboys players, coaches and staff arrived in Oxnard, California for training camp this week. Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and quarterback Dak Prescott are back and healthy for the franchise's first season under coach Brian Schottenheimer. On defense, star edge rusher Micah Parsons leads the way as former Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus takes over on that side of the ball. Parsons, the No. 12 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, is entering the final year of his rookie contract. Parsons and the Cowboys have yet to agree on a long-term extension. Parsons attended minicamp, and his team attempted to secure an extension last offseason but was denied as the team prioritized extensions for Lamb and Prescott. It's no surprise Parsons' contract was a big line of questioning for Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones at the opening day of training camp. "Just because we sign him doesn't mean we're going to have him," Jones said. "He was hurt six games last year, seriously. We've signed, I remember signing a player for the highest-paid at the position in the league and he got knocked out two-thirds of the year in Dak Prescott. So there's a lot of things you can think about, just as the player does, when you're thinking about committing and guaranteeing money." To be clear, Parsons missed four games in 2024, not six as Jones states here. Parsons still managed 12 sacks in 13 games and made the Pro Bowl for the fourth year in a row. "Contracts are four, five years, okay?" Jones continued. "There's a lot of water under the bridge if you step out there and do something in the first two or three. You can get hit by a car. Seriously." When asked if he had talked to Parsons yet in these negotiations, Jones said he hadn't. "I've talked with people that have talked to him, let's put it like that," he said. "I don't necessarily talk to these agents or I don't necessarily talk to attorneys and I do stuff everywhere. And I don't necessarily talk to the people that are hired to do certain things. I talk to the principals 90% of the time." Parsons has been one of the best players in the NFL since entering the league in 2021. He won Defensive Rookie of the Year and was a first-team All-Pro in his first season. He's made two All-Pro teams since then: a first-team nod in 2022 and second-team in 2023. He's entering his age-26 season this year and could command a record-breaking contract if left to the open market next offseason.
