Dr. Daniel Cooper, the Dallas Cowboys’ head team physician, performed Tuesday’s surgery. The Chiefs put Rice on injured reserve last week, with coach Andy Reid saying then that the team was awaiting additional testing to understand the nature of his injury better.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice underwent lateral collateral ligament (LCL) surgery on his right knee Tuesday and did not have to have his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), medial collateral ligament (MCL) or meniscus repaired, according to a league source.
