Seahawks WRs Sidney Rice (shoulder surgeries) and Kris Durham (shoulder surgery) ran routes during Thursday's OTA workout.
Both players, along with sixth-round S Winston Guy, wore red non-contact jerseys as a precaution. The optimistic Seahawks expect Rice to be the healthiest he's ever been by the time training camp rolls around. As far as we're concerned, the three concussions in a 12-month span are every bit as worrisome as Rice's twin shoulder surgeries. May 18 - 10:06 AM

Seahawks GM John Schneider expects Sidney Rice (shoulder surgeries, concussions) to be the healthiest he's ever been as an NFL player by training camp.

Rice will not partake in offseason minicamps, but Schneider is wildly optimistic about his health going forward. Although the twin shoulder surgeries garnered more attention, it was the third concussion in 12 months that ended his season prematurely. Outside of Jahvid Best, there may not be a bigger injury risk among skill-position players.

Seahawks GM John Schneider confirmed Sidney Rice underwent surgery on both shoulders after the season.

One of the procedures was to repair a damaged labrum. "Sidney played with that in college," Schneider said. "He has played with it his whole career so far. He developed grooves." Rice will spend the entire offseason rehabbing with the "hope" that he will be ready for training camp.

All of Sidney Rice's $7 million salary for 2012 was guaranteed in the contract he signed last July.

There are indications Rice's body may be letting him down at a young age, but the Seahawks lack the capability of getting out of his high-priced deal if he can't play football in 2012. We don't know that it's even a consideration, but Rice suffered three concussions in a 12-month span and is having both shoulders repaired surgically this offseason. His 2012 cap number is $8.2 million.

Sidney Rice underwent offseason surgery on both shoulders, according to Tom Pelissero of ESPN 1500 Twin Cities.

One of procedures repaired a torn labrum. The second one is undisclosed. Along with Jahvid Best, there may not be more of a red-flag injury risk in 2012. Rice's season ended a month early after sustaining his third concussion in 12 months. He's now undergone the two shoulder surgeries on top of a major hip procedure less than two years ago. Despite his obvious talent, we can't recommend buying low on Rice in Dynasty leagues.

Sidney Rice (concussion) underwent shoulder surgery Tuesday that will sideline him for 3-4 months.

Rice tore a labrum in his shoulder the week before the opener and played through the injury for nine games before a concussion ended his season. Though he may be eased into OTAs in May, Rice should be healthy by training camp. This is Rice's second major surgery as a pro, following the 2010 hip procedure.

Seahawks placed WR Sidney Rice on injured reserve with a concussion, ending his season.

Rice had yet to even be officially ruled out for Week 13 before coach Pete Carroll announced his third concussion in the past 12 months would end his season. It's a scary end to what has been a lost first year in Seattle for Rice, and clouds the future of a player who will now have managed to appear in just 15 of a possible 32 games the past two seasons. Still only 25, he remains worth an own in dynasty leagues, but 2012 is shaping up to be a make-or-break season for the towering wideout. Ben Obomanu should see the biggest increase in snaps in Rice's absence, but Doug Baldwin is the best bet for increased production.

Coach Pete Carroll conceded Tuesday that the short week essentially rules out Sidney Rice (concussion) for Thursday's game against the Eagles.

Rice won't practice Tuesday and his chances of playing are "very slim." Ben Obomanu will draw the start opposite Mike Williams, though we prefer Doug Baldwin if forced to turn to a Seattle receiver. Tarvaris Jackson struggled mightily with Rice out of the lineup early in the season.

Sidney Rice (concussion) did not participate in Monday's walk-through practice.

Tuesday's practice should give us a good idea of whether or not he'll get cleared to play on Thursday, and we're leaning toward him sitting out. Nobody in the Seahawks passing game is particularly trustworthy, but Mike Williams and Doug Baldwin would be the favorites for targets against a banged up Eagles defensive backfield.

Following Sunday's loss to the Redskins, coach Pete Carroll said he didn't know the severity of Sidney Rice's head injury.

You don't need to be a doctor to know that Rice likely suffered another concussion. He banged his head against the ground, was woozy as he got up and was quickly ruled out for the day. Rice also suffered a mild concussion in Week 10, meaning we'd be surprised if he was cleared to play in Week 13. The Seahawks are on a short week as they play the Eagles Thursday night.

Sidney Rice left Sunday's game against the Redskins in the third quarter with a head injury and will not return.

Rice was diving for a deep seam pass when he banged his head against the turf. He got up very slowly and had to be helped to the sideline. A few minutes later, he walked to the locker room under his own power. Rice suffered a mild concussion against the Ravens in Week 10, but did not miss a game. A second concussion in such a short period of time would be a major concern.

Sidney Rice (knee, probable) returned to Seahawks practice fully Friday and is expected to play against the Redskins in Week 12.

Coach Pete Carroll declared Rice "ready to go" after the workout. Rice is still a bit of a dicey fantasy option because of a difficult matchup and his knee injury, but he will start. He's Rotoworld's No. 25 wideout for Week 12.

Coach Pete Carroll said earlier in the week that he planned to rest Sidney Rice (knee) in this week's practices.

Although Rice has yet to practice this week, it appears to be more by design than necessity. Unless he sits out again on Friday, Rice should be good to go against the Redskins on Sunday.

Sidney Rice (knee) missed a second straight day of practice Thursday.

Concern will be alleviated if Rice returns to a full practice Friday, but for now his Week 12 status appears to be in doubt. Have an alternative in mind.

Sidney Rice - WR - Seahawks

Sidney Rice (knee) missed Seahawks practice Wednesday.

Our initial instinct is to not panic about Rice's missed practice because he frequently sits out on Wednesdays. Rice has had knee issues on and off since entering the league, however, so this is a fantasy situation worth monitoring.
