Sidney Rice caught just one pass for 14 yards in Seattle's Week 16 rout of the 49ers.

Rice also slammed his knee to the turf on his lone grab, but never left the game. He also nearly tossed an interception on a trick play. Playing at less than 100 percent, Rice was targeted only twice, but provided he's avoided setbacks, he should be good to go for Week 17 after being a game-time decision this week. He'll certainly miss practice time, however.

Coach Pete Carroll told reporters after Friday's practice that Sidney Rice (knee, questionable) will be a game-time decision in Week 16 against San Francisco.

Carroll acknowledged that Rice is likely to play against the Niners, but the fact that his status won't be formally known until a pre-game workout suggests Rice isn't close to 100 percent. The 49ers' physical press coverage stifled Rice in these teams' Week 7 meeting, holding him to 32 yards on two receptions. Golden Tate didn't even record a catch. Rice is best viewed as a weak WR3 option in title week. The injury may affect his on-field impact.

Sidney Rice (knee) did not practice on Wednesday.

The knee issue is new for Rice. We knew he had been dealing with a sore foot of late, while he's also dealt with calf and head injuries this season. Rice hasn't been on the injury report with a knee ailment since Week 3. It could just be a precaution, though, and might just be a reason to get Rice some rest during the week. Check back for more information on Thursday.
