Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice is confirmed to play against the Denver Broncos on Sunday, marking a significant offensive boost for the team. Rice, who has been sidelined for the last two games due to hamstring and knee issues, is officially off the injury report. His return was solidified after he transitioned from limited practice participation on Wednesday and Thursday to a full participant on Friday, signaling his readiness to rejoin the starting lineup.

Conversely, the Chiefs’ secondary faces uncertainty with rookie cornerback Mansoor Delane listed as questionable. Delane, the No. 6 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, has missed practice sessions this week due to a shoulder injury. He was designated a non-participant on Thursday and remained sidelined on Friday. Head coach Andy Reid acknowledged the concern, noting to the Kansas City Star that this is the same shoulder Delane injured earlier in the season, with the team monitoring his progress closely before making a final decision.
Despite the defensive uncertainty, Delane has made an immediate impact in his rookie year, recording five passes defensed, three tackles for loss, and one interception. His potential absence would be a setback for a defense that has relied on his athleticism to disrupt opposing passing games. With Rice back in the mix, the Chiefs aim to balance their offensive firepower against the Broncos while managing the health of their highly touted rookie defender.
