Free-agent defensive end Derek Wolfe has officially announced his retirement from professional football after 10 successful years in the league. Wolfe was originally the 36th overall pick by the Denver Broncos in the 2012 draft out of the University of Cincinnati, and he recorded 40 tackles (nine for loss) and six sacks in his rookie season. In his eight seasons in Denver, Wolfe was a key player along their defensive line during their stretch of Super Bowl contention. He won Super Bowl 50 over ...

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said the team released defensive end Derek Wolfe (hip) with an injury settlement on Tuesday. Wolfe had another hip surgery on Monday after previously going under the knife in January for an injury that he initially suffered in August of last year. The 32-year-old veteran pass-rusher missed the entire 2021 season as a result. It's unlikely that Wolfe will have a shot to sign with another organization until he can prove he's past the hip injury. In his one...

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that defensive end Derek Wolfe (back, hip) will not return to play in 2021. The Ravens opened Wolfe's 21-day practice window to return from Injured Reserve late last month, but apparently the 31-year-old pass-rusher just hasn't made any progress and won't play at all in his second season with Baltimore. Wolfe was placed on IR before the team's Week 3 game. He becomes the sixth starter for the Ravens to suffer a season-ending injury in 2021, joining ...

The Baltimore Ravens opened up the 21-day practice window for defensive end Derek Wolfe (back) to return from Injured Reserve on Tuesday. Wolfe will be back at practice on Tuesday and has been on IR the first seven weeks of the season. The Ravens are on their bye in Week 8, but it's possible that the 31-year-old pass-rusher could return in Week 9 against the Minnesota Vikings at home. Wolfe had a successful eight-year run with the Denver Broncos before joining Baltimore's D in 2020, when he had ...

The Baltimore Ravens defense has been vulnerable early in the 2021 season, and they could be short-handed across the field in a big matchup with the Denver Broncos on the road in Week 4. Safety DeShon Elliott (quadriceps), linebacker Pernell McPhee (shoulder), cornerback Tavon Young, cornerback Anthony Averett (ankle), safety Geno Stone (thigh), safety Chuck Clark (hip) and cornerback Marlon Humphrey (knee) are all questionable for Sunday. Defensive end Derek Wolfe (back) will also miss his ...

The Baltimore Ravens' defense is dealing with injuries to several starters. Cornerbacks Marlon Humphrey (back) and Jimmy Smith (ankle) are both questionable for Sunday. Meanwhile, defensive end Derek Wolfe (hip, back) has been ruled out. None of this is good news for the team's overall defense, which already has to face Patrick Mahomes during primetime. Losing Wolfe and potentially others adds another layer of misfortune.

The Baltimore Ravens have ruled out defensive end Derek Wolfe (back, hip) ahead of Monday night's season opener against the Raiders. Wolfe did not practice on Thursday or Friday, so this decision from the team is not much of a surprise. Through 14 games last season, Wolfe racked up one sack, one fumble recovery, and 51 tackles (including six for loss). Broderick Washington Jr. is expected to start in place of the 31-year-old.

Baltimore Ravens defensive end Derek Wolfe won't practice this week after recently dealing with a bout of pneumonia, according to head coach John Harbaugh. Wolfe also skipped voluntary workouts recently after signing a three-year, $12 million contract extension in March. In his first season with Baltimore after eight seasons with the Denver Broncos to begin his career, Wolfe recorded 51 tackles (six for loss), four QB hits, one fumble recovery and a career-low one sack in 14 games (eight starts)...

The Baltimore Ravens re-signed pass-rusher Derek Wolfe to a three-year, $12 million contract extension, according to a source. Wolfe will earn $6.5 million in 2021. The team also re-signed linebacker Tyus Bowser to a four-year, $22 million contract. Bowser's deal could be worth up to $27 million with $12 million in guarantees. The additions are key after Baltimore lost both Matt Judon and Yannick Ngakoue in free agency. The 31-year-old Wolfe played 58 percent of the defensive snaps last year and...

The Baltimore Ravens upgraded their trench personnel in the offseason, mainly on the defensive side of the ball with Calais Campbell and Derek Wolfe, who add size, strength and playmaking ability to a unit that is anchored by sack master Matt Judon. Brandon Williams and Pernell McPhee are also solid contributors at this stage of their careers, making the Ravens Defense an easy top-five target in fantasy drafts. The addition of tackle D.J. Fluker on offense helps a unit that already featured ...
