Sidney Rice in Switzerland for knee procedure

Jul 30, 2013

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll revealed Thursday that WR Sidney Rice has left training camp to undergo a non-surgical procedure on his knee in Switzerland. It's not unusual for players to travel to Europe for the blood-manipulation treatment known as Regenokine, though Carroll declined to give specifics in this case.

Rice's visit has been planned for awhile. He's leaving now because this is the earliest the clinic could accommodate his appointment.

Fantasy Impact:

This came out of no where and is cause for a little concern with the status of Percy Harvin up in the air. But, Carroll is reportedly optimistic that Rice will not miss any games, even of the preseason variety, and expects him to return fresh and in better condition, according to sources.

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
