Rice was placed on injured reserve on Nov. 30 after suffering two concussions in the span of three games. At the time he went on injured reserve, there was no indication he would be undergoing surgery. HC Pete Carroll said Rice didn't suffer a setback per se, but there was a decision made to undergo surgery. "Some time ago, we knew he was going to have surgery," Carroll said. "We just put it off to this date. I don't know exactly why it was put it off to this date, but there has been a few weeks we could have put it off earlier. ..." The recovery time is estimated at three to four months, and Rice indicated he expects to be ready for the organized training activities this offseason.
