Seahawks injury-riddled wide receiver Rice to make preseason debut Friday

Well, Rams fans, we are going to get a look at what Seattle wide receiver Sidney Rice can do after spending most of last season on the sideline.

Seattle head coach Pete Carroll said that Rice will make his preseason debut against the Kansas City Chiefs on Friday.

It’ll be interesting to see if he can perform well on the field because he will pose as a true threat to the Rams’ defensive, and the other NFC West division foes, should he be able to begin the regular season at better than average health. Rice used to always get past defenders in the NFC North and it isn’t out of the realm of reasoning to think that he can’t do it in the NFC West.

Clearly he will not be the greatest wide receiver in the NFC West. Arizona Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald wears that crown. However, Rice could easily make an argument to be considered the second best wide out in the division this season should he stay healthy. We’ll see, though.
