The Broncos reinstated Wolfe from the suspended list Saturday, Aaron Wilson of the Baltimore Sun reports.

Wolfe is set to resume playing after completing a four-game suspension for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances. Wolfe started all 16 games for the Broncos last season, but it remains to be seen if he will reclaim his starting job out of the gate.

Wolfe will be suspended for the first four games of the season for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

A 16-game starter in two of his first three seasons, Wolfe has 11.5 sacks and 91 tackles in 43 career games. Antonio Smith and Vance Walker are the leading candidates to take on Wolfe's snaps for the first four weeks of the season. It shouldn't be too big of a loss for the Broncos, and the situation isn't worth monitoring for IDP purposes.

Broncos LE Derek Wolfe has bulked up to 290 pounds after dipping below 260 last season while recovering from seizures.

Wolfe's second NFL season was ended by the seizure scare last November. Wolfe has 10 sacks through 27 games, but will have to fend off Malik Jackson for starting snaps this year. The Broncos are as deep as any team in the league up front with DeMarcus Ware, Quanterus Smith, and a healthy Wolfe joining Von Miller, Jackson, Terrance Knighton, Sylvester Williams, and Kevin Vickerson.

Broncos LE Derek Wolfe (seizure) said he feels "better than I've ever felt."

"In my whole life I've never felt this good," Wolfe said. "It just shows I needed that rest. The body needed to heal. I have no pain in my neck. No doubt in my mind that I'm going to be better than I ever was." Wolfe looked like J.J. Watt 2.0 as a rookie in 2012 before falling off a bit in 2013. He should enter the season as the starting left end opposite DeMarcus Ware on the right side.

Broncos LE Derek Wolfe declared himself fully recovered from last November's seizure, which ended Wolfe's second NFL season prematurely.

The seizure was brought on by a spinal cord bruise. Wolfe wound up losing 30 pounds, but has since regained 20 and is back near his playing weight of 285-290. "I'm ready to go. I'm going to be better than I was," he said. Wolfe had an outstanding rookie season before taking a step back when healthy as a sophomore. He's likely to enter 2014 as Denver's starting left defensive end.

Broncos LE Derek Wolfe says, in hindsight, he tried to return too quickly from his preseason spinal-cord injury, which caused his nervous system to shut down in November.

Wolfe had to be removed from the team bus ahead of a Week 13 trip to Kansas City after he suffered seizure-like symptoms. He didn't play another down afterward and was placed on I.R. during the playoffs. "My nervous system started shutting down," Wolfe said. "Terrance Knighton started yelling, 'Stop the bus. Stop the bus.'" It's a scary situation, but Wolfe insists he's feeling much better. The Broncos will be cautious with Wolfe, whose status is up in the air for OTAs.

Broncos placed LE Derek Wolfe (illness) on injured reserve, ending his season.

Broncos LE Derek Wolfe (illness) has been ruled out for Week 19.

Wolfe hasn't made enough progress from seizure-like symptoms to be cleared for football action. Denver's defensive front seven will be a shell of what it could be Sunday against San Diego, with mini-Watt Wolfe on the shelf and Von Miller (ACL surgery) on I.R. The Broncos have also struggled at linebacker.

Broncos LE Derek Wolfe (illness) is being held out of this week's practices, but is expected to get in a limited session on Monday.

The fact that Wolfe is being held out this week after practicing on a limited basis for Week 17 is not a good sign for his playoff status. According to the Denver Post, it's "not looking promising" for Wolfe returning for the Divisional Round.

Broncos LE Derek Wolfe (illness) has been ruled out for Week 17.

The Broncos are targeting the playoffs for Wolfe's return from seizure-like symptoms. He resumed practicing on a limited basis this week.

Broncos LE Derek Wolfe (illness) has resumed practicing.

Wolfe practiced Wednesday for the first time since suffering seizure-like symptoms on a team bus ride back on Nov. 29. He's not expected to play against the Raiders Sunday, but he does have a chance to contribute when the Broncos open their playoff run. The Broncos could certainly use him in the wake of Von Miller's ACL tear as Wolfe has four sacks in 11 games on the year.

Broncos LE Derek Wolfe (illness) has been ruled out for Week 16.

Denver's run defense has been getting gashed with Wolfe out of the lineup, giving Dennis Johnson some flex-play appeal in fantasy championship week.

Broncos LE Derek Wolfe (illness) is not expected to play in Thursday's game against the Chargers.

Wolfe is still recovering from a seizure-like episode he suffered in late November. The second-year man is expected back for a limited practice this week, but he won't play in a game until Week 16 at the earliest. Wolfe had 16 tackles and four sacks in 11 games before the incident.

Broncos LE Derek Wolfe was released from the hospital Monday.

Per the Denver Post, a battery of tests have still not revealed exactly why Wolfe suffered a seizure-like episode on the team bus Friday afternoon. He's not expected to play in this week's game against the Titans. "Right now we're not thinking about his availability or any of that stuff," coach John Fox said. "We're just concerned about his health, and medical people are working through that as we speak."

Broncos LE Derek Wolfe (illness) has been ruled out for Week 13.

Wolfe didn't travel with the team to Kansas City on Friday and has been taken to the hospital for further testing. With DT Kevin Vickerson (hip, injured reserve) also sidelined, it's a matchup upgrade for Jamaal Charles and the Chiefs running game. A combination of Robert Ayers and Malik Jackson will replace Wolfe in the starting lineup.

Broncos LE Derek Wolfe (illness) has been ruled out for Week 13.

It's a matchup boost for the Kansas City running game. Wolfe is a mini J.J. Watt at left defensive end. He's started 11-of-11 games and has four sacks.

Broncos LE Derek Wolfe (cervical strain) resumed practicing on Tuesday.

He was a limited participant, but this has him on track for Week 1, which is nine days from today for the Broncos. For as scary as Wolfe's injury looked, that's all it ended up: A scare.

Broncos LE Derek Wolfe (cervical strain) will "probably" be ready for Week 1.

"Looked a lot worse than it was," Wolfe said Thursday. "It ended up just being a cervical strain, which is scary, but I'm just happy I can be back on the field." Wolfe is done for the preseason, but barring a setback, he'll be ready to roll for the opener. It's good news for a Broncos team that can ill afford any more hits to its front seven.

Broncos LE Derek Wolfe made the team flight home following his scary neck injury in Saturday night's preseason game.

Wolfe left the field in an ambulance after what the team called a "cervical spine injury." After Wolfe passed a "battery of tests" at the hospital, the Broncos are optimistic. "So far the reports we've gotten are positive in the sense that there are no broken bones," said coach John Fox. "CT scan was positive and right now we're waiting on an MRI so, so far all the news is good."

Broncos LE Derek Wolfe (neck) passed a "battery of tests" after departing Saturday's game against the Seahawks, and may join the team for its flight back to Denver.

It's remarkably good news after Wolfe had to be immobilized and loaded into an ambulance on the field. He was evaluated for a "cervical spine injury," which could have potentially been career-ending. As it is, there's now an outside chance Wolfe could be ready for next Saturday's preseason game against the Rams. We highly doubt that will be the case, but it appears the pass-rushing deficient Broncos have dodged a major bullet.
