Wolfe (back) didn't practice Friday and is officially listed as out ahead of Sunday's contest against the Lions.
EDGE Analysis
Wolfe has yet to make his 2021 debut. In his absence, Justin Madubuike has been playing an increased role, but he has recently landed on COVID-19 list and may be inactive for Sunday as well. In that case, Broderick Washington may see his first snaps of the season in Week 3.

Wolfe (back) will remain sidelined for Sunday's clash with the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
No surprise here, as Wolfe was again a non-participant at practice all week. He continues to recover from both back and hip injuries sustained during training camp. In his absence, Justin Madubuike and Broderick Washington figure to again see increased workloads.

Wolfe (back/hip) will not play in Monday's season opener against the Raiders, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wolfe was ruled out Saturday as he continues recovering from both back and hip injuries suffered in mid-August. While the 31-year-old veteran misses time, Justin Madubuike is a likely candidate to fill in at defensive end.

Wolfe signed a three-year, $12 million contract with the Ravens on Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wolfe suited up in 14 games (eight starts) for the Ravens last season, producing a career-high 51 tackles but just one sack -- a career low. The 31-year-old made seven sacks for the Broncos in 2019, so he'll aim to boost that number going forward. Wolfe and Calais Campbell will enter the 2021 season as the starting defensive ends; Justin Madubuike will rotate in behind them.

Wolfe (neck/back) is active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old was able to put in a full practice Friday, so it's not a surprise to see him suiting up despite being listed as questionable. Wolfe should continue to play a heavy role up front for the Ravens, especially with Calais Campbell (calf) unavailable this weekend.

Wolfe (neck/back), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Ravens are banged up along the defensive line in Week 15, as end Calais Campbell (calf) is also listed as questionable for the contest. While Campbell is viewed as more of a game-time decision, Wolfe looks like a better bet to suit up after he put in a full practice Friday. Through his 11 appearances this season, Wolfe has posted 45 tackles and no sacks.

Wolfe (neck) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The specifics of the neck injury remain unclear, but it appears serious enough to force the veteran to miss practice time. Wolfe saw a bit of a dip in his playing time in Tuesday's win over Cleveland, seeing action in just 67 percent of defensive snaps, so the could have been dealing with the injury before Thursday. In any event, if Wolfe is forced to miss game action, Justin Madubuike and Jihad Ward would be in line for an uptick in snaps.

Wolfe (illness) is active for Wednesday's game against Pittsburgh, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Baltimore could ill-afford to be without Wolfe with a COVID-19 outbreak decimating the team's depth, but the defensive end will be able to play through the unrelated illness that had bothered him earlier in the week. Expect Wolfe to play as many defensive snaps as he can handle with fellow defensive ends Calais Campbell, Justin Madubuike and Jihad Ward all on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Wolfe (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game versus the Steelers, Daniel Oyefusi of The Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wolfe is currently the only Ravens defensive end that isn't on the reserve/COVID-19 list. If he's able to play Tuesday, he'll likely handle a major workload on defense. He'll look to add to the 31 tackles he's produced through eight games.
