October 17, 2008 The Star Tribune reports that Sidney Rice said Friday he “definitely” will play on Sunday after missing three of the past four games because of sprained PCL in his right knee. “I was close [the last few weeks] but it was coach’s decision, him deciding on what he really needed out there,” Rice said. “He needed a couple extra special-teams players. That was fine with me. I know I wasn’t 100 percent. Anything to help the team. I wasn’t upset or anything.”
Our View:Hopefully Rice used the down time to study the playbook. He has just three catches for 37 yards through three games this season.
