Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was already the center of attention after suffering an unfortunate injury during a game against the Los Angeles Chargers, but it turns out that his family was about to face more scrutiny off the field. Just hours after Rice’s injury, his mother, Marsha Kearney, became embroiled in a bizarre incident involving a stolen package.

The story gained traction after TMZ obtained Ring doorbell footage showing Kearney, decked out in a ‘Momma-Rice’ jersey, appearing to take a neighbor’s package. The package, reportedly containing two limited-edition Chappell Roan vinyl records, was slid away from the neighbor’s doorstep and carried off by Kearney. The video soon circulated widely, adding an unexpected twist to the weekend for the Rice family.

In the footage, Kearney walks by her neighbor’s door, locking eyes with the camera. Moments later, she returns, using her foot to discreetly move the package away from the door, eventually picking it up and walking off. The incident occurred on the same day the Chiefs clinched a victory over the Chargers, and just hours after Rice had to be carted off the field due to a knee injury.

While Rice’s injury had already cast a cloud over the weekend, this off-the-field controversy took things to another level. The neighbor, frustrated by the missing records, reached out to Kearney, Rice, and the apartment leasing office to resolve the matter, but her attempts proved unsuccessful. The next step? A report filed with local authorities on Wednesday.

As TMZ continued to dig into the story, details of the stolen items emerged. The Chappell Roan vinyls were purchased from Urban Outfitters, a limited-edition drop that held personal value for the neighbor. Despite the attempts to handle things privately, the issue remained unresolved, and the situation now sits with law enforcement.

Travis Kelce reacts to Rashee Rice’s injury: Chiefs face uncertainty without promising WR

Meanwhile, Rashee Rice’s injury looms large for the Chiefs. During an episode of the “New Heights” podcast, teammate Travis Kelce expressed his disappointment at seeing the second-year wide receiver go down. “It’s not going to be any easier seeing Rashee go down during the game,” Kelce said. “I just love the way that guy was playing the game of football.”

Kelce went on to highlight Rice’s hard work, praising his dedication during practices. “Sometimes you just root so hard for the guys that do it the right way, and Rashee had been doing that, man,” Kelce added. “It was a huge dagger to me when I saw him go down.”

With Rice facing a potential ACL issue, his return to the field is uncertain. As for his mother, the accusations of theft have added an unexpected off-the-field distraction at a time when the Rice family likely needs calm and focus.

As the investigation into the stolen vinyl records progresses, it remains to be seen how the legal situation will unfold for Kearney. In the meantime, the Chiefs will have to navigate the weeks ahead without one of their promising young stars while also fielding questions about the strange off-field incident.
