EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Sidney Rice will be ineligible to play in the first six games of the regular season.
The team put Rice on the physically unable to perform list Tuesday. He had hip surgery last week and is expected to need at least two months of recovery.
The Vikings also waived wide receiver Marko Mitchell and offensive tackle Bill Noethlich and placed linebacker J Leman on injured reserve after he cleared waivers, the day NFL rosters were required to be reduced to 75 players.
