Derek Wolfe News
Free-agent defensive end Derek Wolfe has officially announced his retirement from professional football after 10 successful years in the league. Wolfe was originally the 36th overall pick by the Denver Broncos in the 2012 draft out of the University of Cincinnati, and he recorded 40 tackles (nine for loss) and six sacks in his rookie season. In his eight seasons in Denver, Wolfe was a key player along their defensive line during their stretch of Super Bowl contention. He won Super Bowl 50 over the Carolina Panthers and was part of one of the best defenses of all time during that season. The 32-year-old never appeared in fewer than 11 games, but he battled injuries towards the end of his Broncos tenure and was on Injured Reserve in 2017 and 2019.
Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said the team released defensive end Derek Wolfe (hip) with an injury settlement on Tuesday. Wolfe had another hip surgery on Monday after previously going under the knife in January for an injury that he initially suffered in August of last year. The 32-year-old veteran pass-rusher missed the entire 2021 season as a result. It's unlikely that Wolfe will have a shot to sign with another organization until he can prove he's past the hip injury. In his one and only season in Baltimore, Wolfe had 51 tackles (19 solo), one sack, six tackles for loss, four QB hits and a fumble recovery in 14 games (eight starts) in 2020. The former second-rounder out of Cincinnati in 2012 spent the first eight years of his career with the Denver Broncos.
Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that defensive end Derek Wolfe (back, hip) will not return to play in 2021. The Ravens opened Wolfe's 21-day practice window to return from Injured Reserve late last month, but apparently the 31-year-old pass-rusher just hasn't made any progress and won't play at all in his second season with Baltimore. Wolfe was placed on IR before the team's Week 3 game. He becomes the sixth starter for the Ravens to suffer a season-ending injury in 2021, joining cornerback Marcus Peters, offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley, running backs J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards and safety DeShon Elliott. Justin Madubuike has stepped into a starting role with Wolfe out and has 16 tackles and one sack on the season.
