Chiefs coach Andy Reid told reporters the team expects bad news Monday when receiver Rashee Rice gets an MRI on his injured knee. The bad news would be the worst news a player could get.

According to multiple reports, the Chiefs fear a season-ending torn ACL for Rice.

Typically, a physical examination of the knee can allow preliminary conclusions to be drawn as to whether the ACL is intact. It’s a matter of stability in the knee. Without this, the concern arises that the player has suffered a torn ACL.

The official word will come on Monday. If the Chiefs’ fears come true, it will be surgery and rehab for Rice — and the Chiefs will have to figure out who their new No. 1 receiver will be.
