Wolfe left Sunday's game against the Rams with a hamstring injury but returned soon thereafter, Zach Pereles of the Broncos' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

That's good news for the Broncos' pass rush, although Wolfe has only registered half a sack on the year. He does have four passes defensed, however. Zach Kerr is on standby if Wolfe aggravates the injury later.

Wolfe (abdomen) was a fully participant at Friday's practice, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wolfe was dealing with an abdominal muscle strain and was a limited participant Thursday, but his full return to practice Friday confirms the minor nature of the injury. The 28-year-old should start at defensive end for the Broncos on Sunday.

Coach Vance Joseph downplayed Wolfe's injury, saying "He's okay. He'll be fine," but the specifics of the issue remain unclear. The 28-year-old played 47 of 57 defensive snaps in the season opener, but registered only a single tackle in the contest.

Wolfe (stinger) played 24 defensive snaps during Friday's 29-17 preseason win over the Redskins.

EDGE Analysis

Wolfe made one tackle during the game, and he will likely wit out the preseason finale against the Cardinals. The seven-year veteran made 31 tackles and two sacks in 2017.

Wolfe suffered a stinger during Tuesday's practice and left practice for the locker room as a result, Mike Klis of 9News.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wolfe, who underwent neck surgery this offseason, had returned to full health before suffering this recent stinger. The issue shouldn't keep him sidelined for long, however, as he's expected to return Wednesday.

Wolfe (neck) has recovered from offseason neck surgery and is ready to return to action, Troy Renck of TheDenverChannel.com reports. "I feel great, dude," Wolfe said. "I am lifting weights, heavy. I am doing 500-pound dead lifts, doing big squats. I had 225 pounds on my back doing straight leg squats the other day. I am good. I am using 150 pound dumbbells for bench press, I am good. Whatever they want (in offseason workouts). They want me to put a helmet on? I will go. I am ready."

EDGE Analysis

Wolfe has reportedly been dealing with nerve pain over the past two seasons, prompting the defensive lineman to undergo surgery on the right part of his neck back in February. Two months later and the 28-year-old appears to be fully recovered in time for organized team activities later this month. He'll now focus on returning to form on the field after a rather disappointing 2017 campaign in which he recorded 31 tackles and two sacks in 11 contests.

Broncos general manager John Elway said Wednesday that he expects Wolfe to remain with the team for the start of the 2018 campaign and make a full recovery from offseason neck surgery, Nicki Jhabvala of The Denver Post reports. "Sounds like [Wolfe] is doing really well. He's happy with the surgery so far," Elway said. "[Wolfe] is another one we plan on going forward with."

EDGE Analysis

Elway's comments mimicked what was suggested earlier Wednesday by head coach Vance Joseph, who said he "absolutely" wants to see Wolfe with the Broncos in 2018 and beyond, according to Zac Stevens of BSNDenver.com. Wolfe, who signed a four-year, $36.7 million contract extension with Denver in January 2016, was placed on injured reserve shortly after suffering a neck injury Nov. 26 against the Raiders, finishing the season with 31 tackles and two sacks in 11 contests. He was later diagnosed with spinal stenosis, but despite the severity of that condition, the 28-year-old Wolfe dismissed the possibility of retirement. While he could remain limited or unavailable for the Broncos' offseason program, Wolfe is expected to be back to full strength by the end of training camp and settle back into a starting role at defensive end.

Wolfe (neck) underwent offseason surgery and is reportedly no longer dealing with any pain in his neck, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wolfe had been dealing with nerve pain in his neck during each of the last two seasons, causing him to miss seven games total. But, after undergoing surgery, Wolfe said that he no longer feels any pain and his neck has full functionality again. As a result, the lineman is fully expected to be ready to go for next season.

Defensive coordinator Joe Woods said Wolfe (neck) is recovering well and believes that doctors have "finally found the problem" in regard to the exact nature of the defensive end's injury, Carl Dumler of Scout Media reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wolfe, who spent the final five games of the 2017 season on injured reserve, revealed last December that he's experiencing spinal stenosis in the C7 segment of his neck. Wolfe himself has previously expressed confidence that this injury won't end his career, but he still needs to gain medical clearance in order to take the field again. Fortunately, the chances of that happening seem favorable at this juncture, putting to rest any talks about his potential retirement.

Wolfe has spinal stenosis in the C7 segment of his neck, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wolfe re-iterated that this won't be the end of his career, as he wants at least four more years in the league. However, he admits that an elbow injury he suffered in the 2016 campaign made his neck injury worse, as he would engage with his head and neck more on tackles. The sixth-year defensive end had 31 tackles (18 solo) and two sacks through 11 games in 2017.
