Sidney Rice missed the final five games of the season because of a concussion, but he apparently had a number of health issues. The Seahawks wide receiver reportedly had surgery on both his shoulders this offseason. One was for a torn labrum and the other one remains unclear.

Seahawks wide receiver Sidney Rice has undergone shoulder surgery, according to The Seattle Times. The injury limited him at the beginning of the 2011 season. It remains unclear why it took so long for Rice to go under the knife. "Some time ago, we knew he was going to have surgery," head coach Pete Carroll said. "We just put it off to this date. I don't know exactly why it was put it off to this date." Rice didn't play in the final five games of the season because of head injuries.

Seahawks wide receiver Golden Tate doesn't think it would be wise for the Packers to play quarterback Aaron Rodgers against the Lions on Sunday. "I wouldn't play Aaron Rodgers this Sunday," Tate tweeted on Friday. "Simply because if [Ndamukong] Suh gets to him, he literally might try to end his career. #hesdangerous" The Packers have the No. 1 seed in the NFC locked up, and their Week 15 loss to the Chiefs ended their quest for 16-0. Rodgers has nothing to gain by playing Sunday other than some more touchdown passes to add to his already pristine MVP résumé.
