A former girlfriend of Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice on Wednesday accused him of domestic abuse, leading both the club and the NFL to acknowledge the troubling allegations. Dacoda Nichole Jones posted a series of Instagram pictures showing bruises, cuts, scars and property damage, writing that she’s “dealt with abuse for years, me and this man decided to break up a couple months ago.” Although Jones did not name the person involved, it’s known that she has two children with Rice, who has played three seasons for the Chiefs. “The club is aware of the allegations on social media and is in communication with the National Football League,” according to a Chiefs statement. “We have no further comment at this time.” Kansas City Chiefs Aug 27, 2025 Chiefs' Rashee Rice suspended six games over Dallas car crash: Report Kansas City Chiefs Jul 17, 2025 Rashee Rice pleads guilty, will spend time in jail after high-speed hit-and-run The NFL, which has taken action against players accused of domestic abuse, also acknowledged these allegations against Rice. “We have been in contact with the club about the matter which will be reviewed under the league’s personal conduct policy,” the NFL said.
