Hollywood Brown is expected to practice this week
Said he is most likely to play on Xmas but they are trying to target the Texans game. Depends on if he’s ready

Why?
The NFL isn't suspending Rice to punish the Chiefs. They're suspending Rice to punish Rice. And injured or not, he's not getting paid. It'll work. I'm not concerned about that at all. Practically speaking, it's not doable. The only potential hiccup would be if the NFL intentionally slow-played a ruling and waited until after he took the field and THEN announced a suspension. But again - why would they do that? They're not out to dick the Chiefs over here and it will have been 18 months since the incident by that point. What possible benefit could that create for the league?

Goodell gains NOTHING by slow-playing the outcome of an incident that had been out of the news cycle for over a year at that point. Announce the suspension in June when the news is slow and fewer eyes are on the NFL. The Chiefs don't put him on the PUP and then he serves it early in the year.

Well I hope you're right.
On a related note: how pissed are the fans of the 31 other teams gonna be if it happens like this? I can't wait. |

Here’s the article on the Browns player. This has happened before which is why I think it wouldn’t be different for Rice

Why would we presume he needs over a year to recover from a knee that needed surgery but didn't need an ACL reconstruction. Rumors were 10-12 months based on the more minor PLC repair rather than a full ACL replacement. Even on the far side of that, I don't think you'd bother to PUP him. You don't need the roster spot THAT badly. We've had CJ Hanson on the roster all season and I don't think he's so much as been active on gameday yet. We aren't going to be so hard up against the 53 that we can't just keep Rice on it and make him a gameday inactive if he's 'still recovering'.

Rice was on the sideline with Hollywood Sunday night.
I'll be his chances of playing in the playoffs this year are better than him missing training camp. (both very low IMO) |

Hell, it looks like Sam Williams was actually ON the IR when the suspension was announced and he was allowed to serve it while on the IR just a month or so ago.
https://sports.yahoo.com/cowboys-ser...012553031.html The NFL would have to royally (and intentionally) **** the Chiefs by waiting until after Rice is fully recovered to announce the suspension. If they do that, Clark Hunt should go murder Goodell's pets. That's just petty and I see no reason at all that they'd do it.

Yeah, it makes sense for the same reasons previously mentioned (still punishes the player by costing them their gamechecks).
I thought it required a little injury designation gamesmanship but no, it doesn't appear so. Just really doesn't seem to be anything to worry about unless/until we get to camp and a suspension still hasn't been announced. In which case I think we'd just be getting screwed over.

His court date is this month. They were never gonna do it until that hearing happens.
