ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- While most of his teammates haven’t donned pads since February, Derek Wolfe has been itching to get back on the field in his gear since he was sidelined due to injury in November.
On Saturday, he finally got that opportunity.
With the team now practicing in pads, he is enjoying the opportunity to actually hit people again and on Monday, the team had its first full-tackle drill. He said football is “absolutely” fun again and that he is not thinking about last year anymore.
While he is back on the field and making plays, including helping the first team unit prevent conversions on two out of three chances in short yardage drills on Monday, he is also involved in some of the scuffles on the field.
