Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice and first-round rookie tackle Josh Simmons will be ready for training camp, head coach Andy Reid confirmed Thursday.

Rice, 25, missed most of last season with a torn right ACL sustained when he collided with quarterback Patrick Mahomes during a Week 4 win against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Rice had been off to a hot start with 24 catches for 288 yards and two touchdowns in the first three games.

A second-round pick in 2023, Rice has 103 receptions for 1,226 yards and nine TDs in 20 career games.

Simmons, 22, was the final pick of the 2025 first round out of Ohio State. He missed part of last season with the Buckeyes because of a torn patellar tendon in his right knee.

Rice and Simmons both participated in the Chiefs' non-contact offseason practices. Training camp starts on July 21 at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph, Mo.
