Kinda my thought as well.
Why would we presume he needs over a year to recover from a knee that needed surgery but didn't need an ACL reconstruction.
Rumors were 10-12 months based on the more minor PLC repair rather than a full ACL replacement. Even on the far side of that, I don't think you'd bother to PUP him. You don't need the roster spot THAT badly. We've had CJ Hanson on the roster all season and I don't think he's so much as been active on gameday yet.
We aren't going to be so hard up against the 53 that we can't just keep Rice on it and make him a gameday inactive if he's 'still recovering'.
