Is Derek Wolfe headed to IR?
Something is wrong with Derek Wolfe. The defensive end was the only Broncos player not to practice today. He claims to be getting back into “football shape” after falling ill in late November and failing to play a snap in the month of December, yet he keeps mysteriously winding up a scratch from team activities.
There’s something about Wolfe’s condition that the Broncos aren’t telling us. A little birdie (SOURCE!) tolf me today that Wolfe will go on IR for the Broncos next week and that he will not participate in the playoffs at all. That’s a pretty extrememe measure for a player with the “flu”. Is my little birdie correct? We will have to wait and see. It would be a real drag. The Broncos can really use Wolfe coming off the end to help get pressure on the likes of Philip Rivers, Alex Smith or Andrew Luck next week.
