faba Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings say receiver Sidney Rice has had hip surgery, a procedure that could keep the Pro Bowler out for the first half of the season or more. The team posted an update on its website Tuesday. It’s a huge blow for the Vikings, who have very little depth at receiver. Percy Harvin has struggled with migraines and the team signed veteran Javon Walker on Tuesday to help out. Rice had a breakout season in Brett Favre’s first year in Minnesota. He caught 83 passes for 1,312 yards and eight TDs to earn his first Pro Bowl bid. But Rice was injured in the playoffs and did not play in the Pro Bowl. Rice’s surgery was first reported by the Star Tribune of Minneapolis. 2010 by STATS LLC and Associated Press.

jussssstme Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Rice out, Harvin is/has a headache. Javon Walker going to be his primary target. Brett might just be wishing he stayed retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't expect him to make it through this year, and hopefully he ends with us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nodimwithere Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 They have the overrated Bernard Berrian Berrian, for now, is the guy who can stretch the field. I doubt if Javon Walker is much of anything now. Maybe they can play Percy Harvin (when he doesn't have migraines) either in the slot, or split wide on every play, instead of in the backfield. But not having Rice for half the season is defeintely going to hurt Favre and their team this season. Get ready for the Packers to win that division.
