Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice suffers knee injury during game against Chargers.

Why it matters: The injury to Rice, who was leading the league in catches and second in yards before the incident, is a significant blow to the Chiefs' offense and their receiving corps.

What's new: Rice injured his right knee while colliding with quarterback Patrick Mahomes during an interception return. Both of Rice's knees took an impact, with his right knee appearing to hyperextend.

Yes, but: Rice's injury not only affects the Chiefs' immediate gameplay but also raises concerns about his availability for future games as well as his ongoing legal issues related to a high-speed crash in Texas last year.

What to watch: The Chiefs will need to rely on other receivers to step up in Rice's absence, such as Tyreek Hill and Mecole Hardman, to maintain offensive production.

What's next: Rice will undergo further medical evaluation to determine the severity of the knee injury and the required course of treatment. The team will provide updates on his condition as more information becomes available.

The bottom line: Losing Rice to injury is a setback for the Chiefs, both on the field and potentially off the field given his pending legal issues. The team will need to adapt and find ways to compensate for his absence in order to maintain their offensive prowess.
