Step in right direction Sidney Rice returns to practice.

Question

Randy Moss is gone, but Sidney Rice is back. Or more accurately, he's close to being back. The Vikings removed Rice from the reserve/physically unable to perform list Wednesday and the Pro Bowl receiver participated in his first practice of the season after recovering from hip surgery. Thus began a three-week window in which the Vikings can evaluate Rice and then decide whether to activate him or end his season. The team can activate Rice at any point during that span. Will he be able to perform well?
