The Facts:
HC Brad Childress -- who said a week ago Rice was "very close" to coming back -- wouldn't speculate on whether he might have his receiving corps at full strength on Sunday against Green Bay. "That would be me guessing as to what the future holds," Childress said. Reported by 1500ESPN.com

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Vikings had been hopeful they'd get reinforcements at WR in Chicago with the return of Rice, who has practiced the past two weeks under a roster exemption as he recovers from hip surgery. However, Rice told the Vikings after Saturday's mock game he didn't feel ready to return. ... His status will be worth watching in coming days.
