"The club is aware of the allegations on social media and is in communication with the National Football League," the Chiefs said in a statement on Wednesday evening. "We have no further comment at this time."
The allegations surfaced in an Instagram post from Dacoda Nichole Jones, Rice's ex-wife and the mother of his two children. Jones did not specifically name Rice in the post, nor did the Chiefs name the receiver in the statement.
However, Jones said the allegations involved the father of her two children. She included several photos showing bruises on her body, holes in the walls of a home, broken light switches, and damaged cabinets.
"I'm so tired of keeping quiet I'm so tired of protecting his image," Jones wrote "I've been through too much in a span of 8 years and I've had ENOUGH! I've dealt with abuse for years, me and this man decided to break up a couple months ago and since then it's been nothing but hell.
"He's very controlling there's been times he's came to my new home broken my door, there's been times when he would put his hands on me while I was pregnant even had the audacity to lock me outside all night in ten degree weather because he got caught cheating. He's cut up all my shoes and clothes leaving me with nothing because he's gotten caught up."
The post continued as Jones alleged that Rice had left them in Kansas and that she had to beg for money so that she could drive back to Texas. She alleged that they have an agreement, that Rice has not followed it, and that he is trying to remove them from their home.
"He tries to put on this persona like he's dad of the year," Jones added. "He does the bare minimum and I have to beg for that. I've protected his image too long and I'm done doing that. It's time to protect my peace, protect my children and stand up for myself."
According to ESPN, Jones has not filed a police report of domestic violence in Texas or Kansas.
Rice, a former second-round pick, has spent all three seasons of his NFL career with the Chiefs while appearing in 28 games. He missed the majority of the 2024 season due to an LCL injury. He missed three games this season due to a concussion.
Rice also missed the first six games of the 2025 season while serving a suspension. He remains on probation from this incident, which also included a 30-day jail sentence.
Rice had previously pleaded guilty to two third-degree felony charges — collision involving serious bodily injury and racing on a highway causing bodily injury — stemming from his role in a six-car crash in Dallas that left multiple people injured.
