Mandatory Credit: Denny Medley-Imagn Images Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice underwent knee surgery, coach Andy Reid confirmed on Monday.
Rice, 24, is facing a long recovery and rehabilitation period following posterolateral corner surgery on his injured right knee.
"It's probably the same result you get timewise as an ACL. It takes a while for that to come back," Reid said. "He'll get into his rehab and get rolling on that as we go here."
Rice was injured when he accidentally collided with Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes in a Week 4 road win against the Los Angeles Chargers.
He caught 24 passes for 288 yards and two touchdowns in four starts in his second NFL season. The 2023 second-round pick has 103 receptions for 1,226 yards and nine scores in 20 career games (12 starts).
The Chiefs (5-0) are coming off their bye week. They visit the San Francisco 49ers (3-3) on Sunday for a rematch of Super Bowl LVIII.
