Wolfe has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Patriots due to a neck injury, Jeff Legwold of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Broncos will be hoping Wolfe's injury is nothing serious, as this is the second neck injury the talented defensive lineman has suffered this year. If Wolfe is forced to miss extended time, expect Billy Winn to fill in at defensive end for Denver.

Wolfe (elbow) returned to practice Monday, The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wolfe suffered an elbow fracture in Week 9 and was given a timetable for return in Week 12, or, in other words, this Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Considering how he's now back at practice, it appears Wolfe's recovery is going as planned. His participation in practice the remainder of the week will hopefully illuminate his intentions of suiting up come game time.

Wolfe will not have surgery to repair the hairline fracture in his right elbow and will be sidelined for no longer than a month, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wolfe suffered the injury during the third quarter of Sunday night's loss to the Raiders. Although his upcoming absence represents a tough blow to the Broncos' defensive front, the fact that Wolfe won't need surgery at least limits the time he'll be sidelined. With him out, rookie second-rounder Adam Gotsis and Billy Winn should see more playing time at defensive end.

EDGE Analysis
Wolfe was forced to exit during the third quarter and was not allowed to return after being examined by the Broncos' medical staff. While he's scheduled to have further tests done Monday, it appears Wolfe is destined to be ruled out for some time, likely leaving Denver without one of its best defensive linemen.

EDGE Analysis
Wolfe had one of the most disruptive games of his career on Sunday, his 2.5 sacks establishing a career high. His career mark for a season of six might be next. Now the main man on the defensive line with Malik Jackson gone, Wolfe already has four sacks in the first four games of 2016.
