Wolfe suffered an ankle injury at the Broncos' Saturday practice, Mike Klis of 9News.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wolfe was carted off the field with what originally looked like a serious injury. However, it is now being reported as just an ankle issue that is not as serious as it first appeared. The Broncos' defense has already been hit hard with injuries, so Wolfe avoiding a lengthy absence would be a positive. It remains to be seen how long the 27-year-old will be sidelined.

EDGE Analysis
Wolfe injured his neck during Week 16's loss to the Chiefs after notching two solo tackles, and his status for Sunday against the Raiders is up in the air. With the Broncos already eliminated from the playoffs, there may not be much of a push to get him back on the field.

Wolfe has been ruled out of Sunday's game in Kansas City due to a neck injury.
EDGE Analysis
Plagued by this neck injury for a large portion of the season, Wolfe won't return to action for a second consecutive week. If the Broncos are knocked out of the playoff picture Sunday, he could very well be held out in Week 17 and instead refocus his efforts on rehabilitation.

Wolfe (neck) is questionable to return to Sunday's game in Kansas City, Ben Swanson of the Broncos' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Carrying this neck injury for much of the season, Wolfe has now been removed for a second straight contest as a result. There's a chance that he'll return Sunday, but his pass-rushing chops would likely be close to non-existent, as he's managed just one sack in his last eight appearances.

EDGE Analysis
Wolfe sat out a few practices during the week as he recovers from his neck injury and he appears to be a true toss up for Sunday's tilt. If he's held out look for Adam Gotsis to see some extra reps.
