Profootballtalk reports Sidney Rice has been diagnosed with a torn ACL.
Rice had been dealing with knee problems since the offseason, and also suffered a concussion in Monday night's win. The head injury is as concerning as the torn ACL for a player whose 2011 was cut short by two concussions in three weeks. When the 2013 season ends, Rice will have appeared in just 39 of a possible 64 games going back to 2009. It's quite possible Percy Harvin (hip) will take Rice's place in the starting lineup this Sunday. Oct 29 - 5:40 PM

Well, guess Harvin will be back this week.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Also thinks this keeps Tate relevant and perhaps not just a 1 week anomaly.

 

[lbouchard]

I cut him in both my dynasties (both rather short rosters though, 20 and 22). Haven't started him despite being ravished by injuries and byes, and now he's just a roster albatross. He was about to lose a decent chuck of his already little value when Harvin came back. Rather use that spot to churn through high-urgency guys.

Well, guess Harvin will be back this week.

If he's not, Baldwin's a nice 1 week flier if Tampa finally unleashes Revis Island on Tate.

Edit: Even Percy's latest setback aside, it's very difficult to just assume he will come back with a large % of the snaps right off the bat. The guy hasn't played a football game since Week 9 last year.

Baldwin looks like a great play this week, not sure if harvin will be on the field after his set back last week

This makes the Seahawks decision next year a lot easier.

Such a shame. Thought he was going to be great until all the injuries set in year after year.

Harvin plus a new toy in the draft?

 

[FavreAndAwayAnIdiot]

So what's the long-term WR future for Seattle now (best guess)? Keep Harvin & Baldwin and let Rice walk? Er... limp away? Or do you see them letting both Baldwin and Rice go?

That's how I see it. Tate could possibly return at the right price.

I think it makes it more likely that Rice returns to Seattle at a reduced price.

OK but in terms of production I think it probably means a very limited ceiling.

I'm not sure a reduced price mitigates the risks with Rice...

 

[Anarchy99]

LOL. I can put him on the shelf next to Reggie Wayne and Mike Williams. When Roddy White is your healthiest receiver, you know you are in trouble.

They can't let him go. He's the only reliable non-injury prone WR they have.

I hope Sidney Rice makes a full recovery!

I don't disagree, but before the injury I think it was a guarantee that he wouldn't be a Seahawk next year. Now I can easily imagine a scenario where he stays in Seattle. He knows the system and from I can tell is welcome in the locker room.

Super interesting perspective. You don't think Percy, Tate, Baldwin, and kearse is enough?

Tate is a UFA after this season, and I seriously doubt they would consider franchising him, so there is no guarantee he will be back.

And Baldwin is a RFA. It's likely he'll be back but not 100% certain.

 

[Eminence]

Guy is made of glass. Would have liked to see his career had he stayed healthy.

Hopefully Hopkins can stay healthy.

I assume they will address the position in next year's draft. As was just mentioned above, Tate and Baldwin have free agency issues. I suspect that Baldwin will be back, but I have my doubts about Tate. Signing Rice at a lower price just makes sense at this moment. That said, we can be sure the Seattle receiver position will be in serious flux during the offseason.

Is it safe to say Sidney is droppable in all but the deepest of dyno's?

I would say he's droppable in every league
