Rashee Rice was suspended for the first six games of the 2025 NFL season due to his involvement in a high-speed multi-vehicle car crash in March 2024. He pleaded guilty to two third-degree felony charges: collision involving serious bodily injury and racing on a highway causing bodily injury. He was sentenced to 30 days in jail (deferred during a five-year probation) and ordered to pay restitution to victims. The NFL suspended him for violating its personal conduct policy. Rice agreed to accept the six-game suspension rather than contest it, partly because there was no guarantee his suspension would be reduced and he preferred to serve the suspension early in the season to avoid missing potential playoff games later. The crash involved Rice driving a rented Lamborghini at 119 mph, causing a chain-reaction collision injuring multiple people. He also showed remorse and took full responsibility for the incident.
