Star wide receiver Rashee Rice will make his return to the field during the Kansas City Chiefs' Week 8 matchup against the Denver Broncos on November 1.

Rice — who has been injured since Kansas City's Week 4 win over the Las Vegas Raiders — was a limited participant in the Chiefs' practice sessions on Wednesday and Thursday, but returned to full participation on Friday.

The former second-round pick has been dealing with knee and hamstring injuries, but showed flashes of brilliance early in the season before missing Kansas City's Week 6 tilt with the Los Angeles Chargers and Week 7 rematch with the Raiders.

With the former SMU Mustangs standout back in the lineup, Chiefs fans should expect two-time MVP quarterback Patrick Mahomes to have an easier time distributing the ball in the passing game when Kansas City faces Denver to defend its lead in the AFC West standings this weekend.
