Rice is recovering well and is expected to miss approximately the first six weeks of the season, the source told La Canfora. Rice led the Vikings in receptions (83) and receiving yards (1,312) in 2009, a breakout season that coincided with Brett Favre's signing with the Vikings. Rice also had eight touchdown catches. Rice told the Minneapolis Star Tribune that he had surgery during a visit to the Steadman Clinic in Vail, Colo., but he gave no timetable for his return. Rice has been on the physically unable to perform list throughout training camp, meaning he cannot practice with the team. Instead, he has been performing running drills on the sideline, and on Friday he told reporters that he felt "a little bit of pain" when he goes full speed. Rice and Favre were injured during the Vikings' loss to the New Orleans Saints in the NFC Championship Game in January. Rice decided against offseason surgery, and his slow recovery likely prompted this week's procedure. Favre is coming back from offseason ankle surgery, and receiver Percy Harvin, the 2009 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, has been suffering from severe migraines throughout camp and has missed a majority of Vikings practices.
