<p>The Kansas City Chiefs missed the NFL playoffs for the first time in a decade, but the team is still making headlines for off-the-field issues.</p>
<p>Wednesday night, the Chiefs told ESPN they are aware of the allegations made by Kansas City wide receiver Rashee Rice&#8217;s ex-girlfriend.</p>
<p>&#8220;The club is aware of the allegations on social media and is in communication with the National Football League,&#8221; the Chiefs said in a statement. &#8220;We have no further comment at this time.&#8221;</p>
<p>Dacoda Nichole Jones, who shares two kids with Rice, posted pictures on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DTOPYNZFHRT/?hl=en&amp;img_index=1">Instagram</a> Wednesday of cuts and bruises on her face, arms, and other parts of her body, as well as damage to walls and cabinets. Jones claims she has dealt with abuse for eight years.</p>
<p>In the post, Jones doesn&#8217;t name Rice, but said the abuse came at the hands of the father of her children. She also accused the father of her kids of putting his hands on her while she was pregnant.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve protected his image too long, and I&#8217;m done doing that,&#8221; Jones said. &#8220;It&#8217;s time to protect my peace, protect my children and stand up for myself.&#8221;</p>
<p>Jones also claimed in her post that her abuser cut up her clothes and shoes and left her and the children in Kansas.</p>
<p>&#8220;He tries to put on this persona like he’s dad of the year. He does the bare minimum,&#8221; Jones said.</p>
<p>Just as Jones didn&#8217;t name Rice in her post, the Chiefs&#8217; statement didn&#8217;t specify if the allegations related to Rice.</p>
<p>Per ESPN, as of Wednesday night, Jones had yet to file a police report.</p>
<p>Last July, Rice was sentenced to 30 days in prison plus five years&#8217; probation for his involvement in a multi-car crash in Dallas in March 2024, where multiple people were injured.</p>
<p>The 25-year-old pleaded guilty to the two third-degree felony charges. As part of his plea, he received deferred adjudication. Upon completion of his probation, that case will be dismissed.</p>
<p>According to ESPN, Rice and his friends fled on foot before police arrived at the crash scene.</p>
<p>Because of the incident, Rice served a six-game suspension at the start of the 2025 season for violating the NFL&#8217;s personal conduct policy.</p>
<p>After coming back from his suspension, Rice was a productive part of the Chiefs&#8217; offense in 2025. He had 53 receptions for 571 yards and a team-high five touchdowns.</p>
<p>The Daily Wire has reached out to the Kansas City Chiefs for comment.</p>
