The Facts:
Following up on the ongoing story. ... HC Brad Childress confirmed Tuesday that Rice had undergone an arthrosopic procedure on his hip Monday in Vail, Colo., and said the team has not decided if the wide receiver will be put on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list to start the season or if he might end up on season-ending injured reserve.

"Really it would be hard for me to tell you how long that thing is going to take," Childress said. "It varies. I would think probably at least eight weeks before we're talking about doing anything. He'll come back here and rehab. ..." Rice is currently on the active-PUP list, meaning he counts against the 80-man roster. The Vikings could keep him on the PUP list to begin the regular-season, meaning he wouldn't count against the 53-man roster but would have to miss the first six games. Either way, you'll want to move Bernard Berrian up in your rankings with Rice out and Percy Harvin still bothered by unpredictable migraine issues.
