Overview
- The NFL said Friday it found insufficient evidence under its personal conduct policy and closed its Rashee Rice investigation with no punishment.
- The probe followed January social-media posts and a Feb. 16 Dallas County suit in which Dacoda Jones alleged repeated assaults and sought about $1 million.
- Court filings describe claims that Rice grabbed, choked, and headbutted Jones, including incidents she says happened while she was pregnant.
- Rice’s attorney cites an Oct. 9, 2025 sworn statement from Jones saying they argued but he did not punch her.
- Separate from this case, Rice pleaded guilty for a 2024 high-speed crash, received 30 days in jail and five years’ probation, and served a six-game suspension in 2025.
