Rashee Rice was suspended for the first six games of the 2025 NFL season due to violations of the league’s Personal Conduct Policy stemming from a March 2024 Dallas crash case, in which he pleaded guilty to two felony charges related to a high-speed collision that caused bodily injury. The league and the NFL Players Association reached a settlement that set the six-game suspension, with Rice also serving a possible jail sentence during probation, and later allowing him to return in Week 7 of the 2025 season. This suspension followed discussions about the appropriate discipline after the initial proposal suggested a longer penalty, but an agreement was reached that ended the disciplinary process without a formal hearing.
