It's hard to see a better-case scenario than Rice being ready around midseason next year.
If he gets suspended, I think you can play some games with when you "activate him" from his injury recovery. If the suspension is, say 4 games, and you expect him to be ready around week 10, you can put him on the preseason PUP, activate him, and then let him "serve" his suspension while technically eligible but not, in reality, ready to play.
If you're projecting an earlier return, obviously you don't have to do that. Or if the suspension is 8 games and you're expecting him ready week 10, you don't mess with PUP at all.
