Wolfe (illness) was listed as a full participant on the Ravens' estimated injury report Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Wolfe was not among the slew of Ravens to surface on the reserve/COVID-19 list this week, and it seems he has bounced back from his unspecified illness. Had Baltimore played on Thanksgiving Night as was initially planned, Wolfe seemingly would have been able to suit up for the contest. Afforded three additional days with the NFL's decision to push the Ravens-Steelers game to Sunday afternoon, Wolfe appears to be in the clear for Week 12.

Wolfe was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's practice estimation due to an illness.
EDGE Analysis
The Ravens are in the midst of a COVID-19 outbreak with multiple players moving to the reserve list, but Wolfe may just be dealing with a standard illness. Wolfe's status will receive more clarity when Baltimore releases its official injury report for Thursday's matchup with Pittsburgh.

Wolfe (neck/concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Coach John Harbaugh said Wolfe "should be fine" for the Week 8 matchup against the Steelers, and the defensive end's full-speed practice certainly lines up with that notion. Wolfe should be ready to start against a sturdy offensive line Sunday.

Coach John Harbaugh said Wolfe (neck/concussion) "should be fine" after the Ravens' upcoming bye week, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old was inactive for Sunday's win over the Eagles, but he'll have the bye week to rest up before the team returns to practice for the Week 8 matchup with the Steelers. Wolfe has 15 total tackles and is without a sack in four games this season.

Wolfe (neck/concussion) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Eagles.
EDGE Analysis
Wolfe popped up on the injury report Thursday and was unable to practice Friday, so it's not surprising that he'll sit out for Sunday's clash. Jihad Ward and rookie Justin Madubuike are expected to rotate in at defensive end and try to exploit the Eagles' banged-up offensive line Sunday.

Wolfe (neck/concussion) is considered doubtful for Sunday's game versus the Eagles.
EDGE Analysis
Wolfe sat out Friday's practice, and as a result, he'll likely be sidelined for the second time in three games. The 30-year-old defensive end is otherwise a consistent starter at defensive end and has picked up 15 tackles through four games. Jihad Ward and rookie Justin Madubuike are both expected to handle heightened workloads with Wolfe out of the picture.

Wolfe (neck) was a late add to Thursday's injury report, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wolfe suited up in Sunday's game against the Bengals despite an elbow issue, but he appears to be dealing with a new issue. A late add to the injury report certainly isn't a good sign, so expect the team to monitor the veteran closely for Friday's practice. If Wolfe is forced to sit out Sunday's game against the Eagles, look for Jihad Ward to take on a starting role at defensive end.

Wolfe (elbow), will play in Sunday's game against the Bengals.
EDGE Analysis
Wolfe missed last week's win over Washington due to exhibiting COVID-19-like symptoms despite never testing positive. As evidenced by this news, the veteran will safely return to the field, so he could be a bit limited during Sunday's game despite likely coming in as a starter on the defensive line.

Wolfe (elbow) is questionable for Week 5 after sitting out last week with COVID-19-like symptoms, though he never tested positive for the virus, Daniel Oyefusi of the Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old was already considered questionable for Week 4 with the elbow issue when the symptoms surfaced, so the team opted to play it safe and keep him away from the team for the weekend. Wolfe was able to return to practice as a full participant earlier this week, but he's still considered questionable with the elbow issue.

Wolfe (elbow) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Wolfe looks set to return from a one-game absence and suit up against the Bengals on Sunday. Barring any setbacks, the veteran defensive end can be expected to draw his usual start on Sunday. He's still looking for his first sack of the season.
