Well, I was wrong about Sidney Rice.
Judd Zulgad of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune is reporting that the Vikings have, indeed, activated #18 from the Physically Unable to Perform List prior to today's 3 PM deadline, which means he's on the roster and will play against the Green Bay Packers this Sunday.
No word on how Rice will be used or how many snaps he'll see, but at least he'll be out there, which is a huge improvement from what we've seen thus far this season.
So, finally, we get a little bit of good news in a season that, to this point, has been largely bad news coming from Winter Park and points beyond.
