Broncos DE Simeon Rice isn't sure if he'll be ready to play this week at Buffalo, but he'll most certainly be ready to play in the home opener versus Oakland, Sept. 16. Rice signed a one-year deal worth $3 million on Monday.

A note for you IDP guys considering Rice this week. Looks like Week 2 is the safer bet.

He might play some, but no where near the reps he'll have the rest of the season. Denver would be risking injury to have him play full time. He can't be ready for that.

I think that he'll only be a 3rd down guy anyway. Not that eases our pain, but at least he's not out there every down.

The Denver Post is blowing smoke up our ass*s. It's BS if anyone thinks he won't play much. They will use him more than we think.

Though Rice is coming off a significant shoulder injury and though some teams said the defensive end would not be healthy enough to start the season, the Broncos plan to play him Sunday at Buffalo against the Bills. Denver needs Rice –- badly. Its starting defensive ends are John Engleberger and Elvis Dumervil. Their backups are first-round pick Jarvis Moss and second-round pick Tim Crowder, who has been hobbled this summer with a sprained ankle.
Rice will play, and he will have a chance to start reaching some of the incentives the Broncos laid out for him in their one-year, $3 million deal that included a $2.18 million signing bonus and an $820,000 base salary.






thats pretty much the same news ive been getting from their message boards, as well as alot of nfl rumor sites...... i dont think he will play starting off, but i'd expect him on 3rd down and goal line stances, and maybe more depending on how he's feeling
