Sidney Rice injury: Seahawks WR doubtful to return after knee injury vs. Rams
The Seahawks will likely pay the rest of Monday night’s game without Sidney Rice.
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Sidney Rice left Monday night's game against the St. Louis Rams with a knee injury.
Rice immediately went to the sideline where he was flat on his back on the trainer’s table. He was then taken to the locker room without his helmet. The Seahawks are calling his return doubtful.
Replacing Rice in the Seahwaks' lineup is Jermaine Kearse, a young wide receiver who has struggled to crack into the starting lineup given the Seahawks' depth at the position.
Coming into the game, Rice had 15 catches for 231 yards and three touchdowns this season. The Seahawks will be getting Percy Harvin back in the coming weeks, but losing a red zone target like Rice would be disappointing for this passing offense.
Still, Kearse has flashed some skills in his limited playing time, so Seattle will get to see what he can do in an increased role until the severity of Rice’s injury is known.
