Wolfe (concussion) is active for Saturday's game against the Browns.
EDGE Analysis
The expectation was that Wolfe would be healthy to play, and the team confirmed it Saturday when he was not listed on the inactive list. Wolfe has just 1.5 sacks through 13 games this season but could have more opportunities with the likes of Shaquil Barrett (hip) and Shane Ray (coach's decision) sidelined.

Wolfe (concussion) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Browns, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wolfe cleared the league-mandated concussion protocol Thursday, but his chances of suiting up Week 15 remain murky. If Wolfe were to sit out against the Browns, Zach Kerr would receive an increased defensive workload.

Coach Vance Joseph said Tuesday that Wolfe is in the league-mandated concussion protocol, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wolfe appears to have sustained a head injury during Sunday's 20-14 loss to the 49ers. If the starting defensive end is unable to suit up against the Browns on Saturday, expect Zach Kerr to benefit from an uptick in snaps.

Wolfe (ribs) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game at San Francisco, Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wolfe sustained a small cartilage tear in his ribs during last Sunday's win over the Bengals, but is apparently healthy enough to avoid the questionable tag. It remains to be seen if the 28-year-old faces any limitations from the injury, but he should take up his usual starting spot at defensive end against the 49ers.

Coach Vance Joseph said Monday that Wolfe (ribs) is day-to-day, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wolfe suffered a "small tear in rib cartilage" during Sunday's 24-10 win over the Bengals. It's positive news that the veteran defensive end is not nursing a significant injury, but his Week 14 availability nonetheless remains in question. If Wolfe were to miss any time, Zach Kerr would benefit from an increased defensive role.

Wolfe said following Sunday's game against the Bengals that he didn't suffer any broken ribs, Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wolfe left Sunday's game due to the injury and ultimately was ruled out for the remainder of the game. The fact that Wolfe didn't suffer any breaks in his ribs is a positive sign for his Week 14 availability. Expect next week's practice report to give a clearer indication as to whether or not Wolfe can suit up against the 49ers in Week 14.

Wolfe (ribs) is absent from Friday's injury report, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.

Wolfe suffered a rib injury Thursday against the Cardinals and is probable to return, Zac Stevens of BSN Denver reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran defensive end has had his fair share of bumps and bruises this season, as he exited Sunday's loss to the Rams with a hamstring issue. Given that the Broncos have a healthy lead, there is a good shot the team decides to shut Wolfe down for the remainder of the contest.
