Returning to practice Wednesday
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that Rice (hamstring/knee) is expected to practice Wednesday, Nate Taylor of ESPN.com reports.
Rice will mix into drills for the first time since exiting the Chiefs' Week 4 win over the Raiders due to the pair of injuries. Reid provided no assurances that Rice is in line to play Sunday in Denver, but as long as the Chiefs' No. 1 wideout responds well to practice and avoids any setbacks as the week rolls along, he could put an end to his two-game absence.
