Rice said he's up to 209 pounds after weighing 198 following his surgeries. He wants to be 212 or 213 pounds by the start of the season, accounting for the weight he typically loses during training camp. Rice is now six months removed from surgery on his right shoulder, which he underwent about a month and a half before he had the operation on his left shoulder. He was limited during last week's mini-camp as he still wasn't cleared for contact. "It should be 100 percent. Everything should go back to normal," he said of the health of his shoulders. Rice said he plans "to be ready [by] training camp. If not, definitely before the first game. ..." We'll see. More as the summer progresses.
