Rashee Rice misses practice for Chiefs, opening door for Jalen Royals
Summary

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice missed practice on October 21 due to a hamstring injury, casting doubt on his availability for their game against the Seattle Seahawks. Rice's absence could limit the Chiefs' receiving options as they look to maintain their undefeated streak in Week 7. With both Rice and Tyquan Thornton sidelined, Travis Kelce and Xavier Worthy are expected to be key targets for quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Jalen Royals could step up as a WR3, having previously recorded a touchdown this season. The Chiefs face a tough matchup against the Seahawks' top-ranked pass defense.
