Vikings coach Brad Childress wouldn't rule out the possibility of Sidney Rice going on injured reserve following Monday's hip surgery.
"We haven’t made any determination of whether he’ll be on IR or PUP," said Childress. Rice will be placed on reserve/PUP at the very least, costing him the first six games of the season. Childress acknowledged that Rice "won't do anything" football-related for another eight weeks. The team will reevaluate Rice at that stage, but he's no sure thing to contribute this season.
