Chiefs WR Rashee Rice carted off with apparent leg injury vs. Chargers after colliding with Patrick Mahomes

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was carted off the field with an injury early in Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Rice appeared to suffer the injury while giving chase after quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw an interception to Chargers cornerback Kristian Fulton. Rice tracked down Fulton on the interception return and stripped the ball from behind. At the same time, Mahomes dove in front of Fulton for a tackle.

Rice’s right foot was planted in the turf, and Mahomes made contact with Rice’s leg on his tackle attempt. Rice’s knee bent awkwardly on the collision.

Rice hobbled to the bench and struggled to put weight on his right leg on the sideline. After speaking with a trainer, Rice left the field lying down on a cart. The extent of Rice’s injury wasn’t initially clear.
