Terry Glenn, former NFL player, dies in car accident

IRVING, Texas — Former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terry Glenn was killed in a Monday morning car accident. He was 43.

CBS Dallas/Fort Worth reports that Glenn died following a “single rollover crash” on eastbound Highway 114 around 12:18 am Monday morning, Irving Fire Department officials said. His vehicle left its lane a struck a concrete barrier and rolled. Glenn was ejected from the vehicle.

A passenger in the car suffered minor injuries. It was believed to be Glenn’s fiancee.

The Dallas County Medical Examiner’s office said Glenn died at Parkland Memorial Hospital at 12:52 am., The Associated Press reports.

The 43-year-old Ohio native played for the Dallas Cowboys from 2003-07. In college, he was a standout player at Ohio State University where he was recognized as an All-American.

Glenn was the seventh overall pick in the 1996 NFL Draft by the New England Patriots where he played for six seasons. He also played for the New England Patriots, the Green Bay Packers and the Cowboys.

With the Patriots, Glenn was named to the NFL Pro Bowl in 1999. Two years later, he caught Tom Brady‘s first touchdown pass of his career against the San Diego Chargers.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice is in a whole lot of trouble.

Late last month, Rice was driving a Lamborghini that was involved in a six-car accident in Dallas. He appeared to be racing, and after the crash, he left the scene.

Rice is facing some very serious charges that could land him in prison for years.

In terms of football-related activities, Nate Taylor of The Athletic says that Rice could be suspended for multiple games in 2024 for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy.

Rice could be placed on the commissioner’s exempt list if he is hit with felony charges.

The 23-year-old issued a personal apology to everyone who was impacted by the car crash, but has yet to speak publicly about the incident.

Rice, who played his collegiate football at Southern Methodist, was selected by the Chiefs in the second round of the NFL Draft last spring.

He enjoyed an impressive rookie campaign, hauling in 79 receptions for 938 yards and seven touchdowns as Kansas City’s clear-cut No. 1 receiver. He then went on to catch 26 passes for 262 yards and a score during the Chiefs’ playoff run to a Super Bowl championship.

The Chiefs went out and signed fellow wide out Marquise Brown to supplement Rice in the aerial attack, but now, they may be without Rice entirely next season.

While football is certainly important to Rashee Rice, it is probably not the primary thing on his mind at the moment. Right now, he is probably mainly thinking about potentially losing his freedom.

We’ll see what developments occur in the case moving forward.
