Rice (shoulder) isn't likely to have his practice window opened this week, per Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh, Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports. Rice has missed the required four games since landing on injured reserve Nov. 2, but it doesn't appear he's ready to return to practice. The rookie wideout got into only three games prior to suffering the shoulder injury and played just three offensive snaps along with 10 snaps on special teams.
The Chargers placed Rice (shoulder) on injured reserve Saturday. Rice was already ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns, but he will now be forced to sit for at least the next four regular-season contests. The earliest Rice can return from IR is Week 13 against the Falcons on Sunday, Dec. 1.
Rice (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Browns. Rice downgraded from a limited practice session Wednesday to DNPs both Thursday and Friday, suggesting that his shoulder injury may have worsened during the week. Derius Davis and Simi Fehoko could see increased work in the Chargers' wide receiver room with Rice sidelined in Week 9.
Rice (shoulder) was listed as a DNP on Thursday's injury report. Rice was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a shoulder injury, but he was unable to see the field Thursday. It's a trend in the wrong direction, but he'll have one more chance Friday to return to practice and give himself a chance to play against the Browns on Sunday.
Rice (shoulder) was listed as a limited practice participant Wednesday. Rice was a healthy scratch for the Chargers' Week 8 game against the Saints. It's unclear when he injured his shoulder, but it caused him to be limited during Wednesday's practice session. The rookie seventh-round pick will have two more chances this week to increase his practice participation before Sunday's game against the Browns.
Rice (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Raiders. Rice made the Chargers' final 53-man roster after being selected in the seventh round of the 2024 Draft. However, his NFL debut will need to wait at least one more week. His next opportunity will be Week 2 against the Panthers.
