Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice has been sentenced to serve 30 days in jail after testing positive for marijuana in violation of the terms of his probation for his role in a crash that left multiple people injured two years ago.

The Texas State Attorney's Office said Tuesday that Rice was ordered to go to jail now as part of his original sentence for the third-degree felony of racing and causing bodily injury.  He is set to be released on June 16, meaning he will miss the Chiefs' organized team activities and mandatory minicamp.

Rice's case is scheduled to go to trial June 9th.
