Impact Rice finished first amongst the Boilermakers' wide receivers in catches, yards and receptions Saturday after not seeing the field for undisclosed reasons over the past two weeks. The redshirt junior recorded five receptions for 90 yards on 12 targets through the first three weeks of the season, though he doesn't figure to serve as anything more than Purdue's fourth or fifth receiver in Maryland's crowded corps of receivers, including TJ Sheffield (17 receptions, 27 targets, 184 yards) and Tyrone Tracey (21 receptions, 27 targets, 149 yards) going forward.

Full go again this fall Purdue coach Jeff Brohm confirmed that Rice (foot) was a full participant during the team's scrimmage Saturday, D.J. Fezler of SI.com reports.

Impact Rice suffered a season-ending foot injury just three weeks into last season. The 6-foot-2 pass catcher was one of two wideouts to return to full participation this fall, alongside fellow junior TJ Sheffield (ankle), after sitting out the Boilermaker's spring practices due to injury. These two should help bolster Purdue's receiving corps after the loss of top wideout David Bell, who was selected in the third round of this year's NFL Draft.

Active in spring Rice was a full participant for all 15 of Purdue's spring practices, Drew Schneider of SB Nation reports.

Impact Rice only appeared in one game last season, failing to record a reception. The 6-foot-2 wide receiver is not likely to make a huge impact in the passing game as he is below four receivers on the depth chart. Coach Jeff Brohm did mention that Rice may get used as a returner on special teams, which could open doors for more opportunities.
