Packers Re-Sign WR Frank Rice To Practice Squad
posted 11/25/2003
The Green Bay Packers have re-signed wide receiver Frank Rice to the team's practice squad, GM/Head Coach Mike Sherman announced Tuesday.
Rice, 6-0 and 180 pounds, originally signed with Tampa Bay 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 this year, playing in all four preseason games and catching 3 passes for 73 yards, a 24.3-yard average, before being released in the team's roster reduction for the NFL's regular season, 53-player limit Aug. 31.
Rice was signed to the Packers' practice squad for the first time Sept. 9 and later released Sept. 30.
A four-year letterman at Colorado State as a collegian, Rice caught 83 passes for 1,258 yards (a 15.3-yard average) and 13 touchdowns, sixth most in school history. He earlier was an all-state and all-conference selection at Serra (Calif.) High School, where he rushed for 2,800 yards, including 1,300 yards and 13 touchdowns as a senior.
Rice, who replaces wide receiver Scottie Vines on the practice squad, has been assigned jersey No. 13. Vines has been placed in the practice squad/injured category with a knee injury. |
