Andy Reid has broken his silence on Rashee Rice's involvement in a multi-car crash that saw the Chiefs star drive up to 119mph in Dallas, Texas, in March, as the wide receiver now faces eight charges, including aggravated assault. 

Speaking to reporters roughly a fortnight since Rice led to seven injured and a half-dozen vehicles wrecked on North Central Express (U.S. 75) on March 30, Reid said the 23-year-old, who won his first Super Bowl with Kansas City in February, will be virtual for the first phase of offseason conditioning, which started today (Monday).

'I'm leaving that, like we've done most of these, for the law enforcement part to take place and then we will go from there with that,' Reid added on Monday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Offseason training activities, referred to as Phase One, includes player meetings, strength and conditioning, and continued rehabilitation for injured players like defensive end Charles Omenihu. 

Phase Two of the offseason calendar takes things to the next level, as it consists of runs for three weeks, as well as some on-field drills for both team units and individual players. It also includes walk through practices in which players can line up from each other but only from the same unit (offensive lined up against offensive players).
