Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Sidney Rice announced his retirement from the NFL on Wednesday after an injury-filled career that included issues with concussions.

Wide receiver Sidney Rice should be fully recovered from a torn knee ligament by the time the Seattle Seahawks start defense of their Super Bowl title, general manager John Schneider said Wednesday.

To use his term, trainers “snatched” wide receiver Sidney Rice off the Seahawks’ practice field Thursday. He was merely using ever-improving legs to run light routes. Rice tore an ACL last year during the Week 7 game in St. Louis. That makes Oct. 19, 2013 the last time Rice ran routes full-out, so forgive him if he has a hankering to get back on the field.

Red Bryant, the second-longest tenured member of the Seahawks, might have been the most emotional in the locker room after Seattle’s 43-8 Super Bowl win over Denver. “I understand how fortunate I am to be in this moment,” said Bryant, who was with the Seahawks when they won a combined nine games in 2008 and 2009 before coach Pete Carroll began his resurrection in 2010. “And I don’t take it for granted.”

Russell Wilson spent nearly as much time on his back getting sacked as he did standing and completing passes.

Doug Baldwin wants context. When asked about the receivers’ “lack of production” in Week 2 as compared to Week 3, he bristled a bit.

Seeking help to reduce the discomfort from patella tendinitis in his knee, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Sidney Rice jetted to Europe to try to find a solution.

Percy Harvin will have hip surgery on Thursday, sidelining the dynamic wide receiver for the start of his first season with the Seattle Seahawks.

RENTON, Wash. – Sidney Rice and Golden Tate have become the go-to targets for Seattle Seahawks rookie quarterback Russell Wilson. Rice, healthy for the first time in three years, is enjoying a resurgence for the Seahawks. A hip injury derailed his final season in Minnesota before Rice signed with Seattle following the lockout.

RENTON, Wash. – Sidney Rice sat down to start watching film on Wednesday morning and started counting all the familiar faces and names he noticed. It’s not 11 for 11, but there are plenty of players on Minnesota’s defense that Rice knows very well.

RENTON, Wash. – Sidney Rice didn’t want to be the only non-quarterback stuck wearing a red jersey during the early days of Seattle Seahawks training camp. So on Day 2 on Sunday, when trainers and coaches weren’t looking, Rice slid on his regular blue practice jersey and jogged on to the field.

RENTON, Wash. – The toughest part of John Schneider’s week wasn’t the lack of sleep or the endless phone calls, emails and text messages. It probably came when his young son punched him and ran out of the room crying when it became public that Matt Hasselbeck wasn’t returning to Seattle.

SEATTLE – The Seahawks have spent more than a year looking for a top-shelf receiving threat. They’ve been searching even longer for a left guard.
