The Story in 60 Seconds

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice missed consecutive practices following the team's bye week due to a hamstring injury sustained in Week 4 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Rice observed practice on both Wednesday and Thursday, placing his availability in serious doubt for Sunday's Week 6 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers.

With fellow receiver Tyquan Thornton also injured in Week 4, Kansas City faces depleted depth at the position. Head coach Andy Reid initially downplayed Rice's setback as minor, but the franchise may now lean more heavily on Xavier Worthy, Jalen Royals, or newly re-signed veteran Justin Watson.
