The Facts: GM John Schneider said Rice will be the healthiest he's ever been since entering the NFL.
Diehards Line:Rice, who underwent a separate surgical procedure on each shoulder this offseason, is not expected to practice in the offseason mini-camps, but Schneider seemed encouraged about his prospects for the fall. "This is the healthiest he's going to be since he's been a professional," Schneider said. ... Remember: Rice went on injured reserve last season after suffering a pair of concussions in a two week span. This after playing through a labrum injury in one shoulder (the other shoulder had been a problem since Rice was in college). Rice, 25, has missed 17 games over the past two seasons. Despite Schneider's optimism, Fantasy owners will want to keep a close eye on Rice's progress through training camp.
