Seattle WR Sidney Rice has bruised foot
RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Sidney Rice has a bruised foot, is in a walking boot and could be in question for Sunday's game against Buffalo in Toronto.
Seattle coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday that the foot problem came out of nowhere. Rice doesn't remember aggravating the foot in last Sunday's blowout win over Arizona, but he woke up Monday morning in pain.
Rice had just two catches in the Seahawks' 58-0 win over the Cardinals. Rice leads the Seahawks with 45 receptions for 658 yards and seven touchdowns.
Seattle is also likely to be without reserve cornerback Marcus Trufant, who is still bothered by a hamstring problem. Rice, Trufant, safety Kam Chancellor (groin) and defensive end Red Bryant (foot) did not participate in practice on Wednesday.

We should be fine against Buffalo, let 'em rest as we will need them more facing SF.
Just a bruised foot with all the vicious hits he has been taking lately? He is one tough baller. Hope he does not have long term effects from the hard hits.
Having Rice out could be bad. The Seahawks need to begin aggressively pursuing receivers in the upcoming draft.
