Kansas City Chiefs star wide receiver Rashee Rice completed his 30-day jail sentence and was released this morning. The sentence was handed down after his street racing incident, which ended in a crash, causing multiple injuries.
His initial sentence was five years' probation and 30 days behind bars; however, he had an extended timetable to serve the jail time. The sentence was made immediate last month when he violated his probation by testing positive for THC, which is still a violation of probation in Texas, where Rice is from, and where the original incident took place.
Before he went into jail, we also learned that he was rehabbing his knee from a procedure he had this offseason, which was a significant concern. We have since learned that he was allowed to visit Parkland Hospital in Dallas, Texas, during his sentence to rehab his knee.

Rice is not expected to be suspended for violating his probation. It's worth noting that NFL players no longer face suspensions for the use of marijuana.
