The Green Bay Packers signed wide receiver Frank Rice to the practice squad, GM/Head Coach Mike Sherman announced Tuesday.

Guard Kaulana Noa was released to make room for him on the squad.

Rice, 6-0 and 180 pounds, originally signed with Tampa Bay as a free agent coming out of Colorado State in 2001. He subsequently was injured in training camp and spent the '01 season on injured reserve. Waived April 17, 2002, he signed with Denver and went on to spend the '02 season on the Broncos' practice squad.

Later signed as a reserve/future, Rice was with the Broncos through training camp and the preseason, playing in all four preseason games and snaring 3 passes for 73 yards, a 24.3-yard average, before being released in the team's roster reduction to the NFL's regular-season, 53-player limit Aug. 31.

As a collegian, Rice was a four-year letterman at Colorado State, where he caught 82 passes for 1,258 yards (a 15.3-yard average) and 13 touchdowns, sixth most in school history. He earlier was all-state and all-conference at Serra (Calif.) High School, where he rushed for 2,800 yards, including 1,300 yards and 13 touchdowns as a senior.
