Thread: Some news on Derek Wolfe

i'll have to see if there's another article that this came from, but PFT just posted a short clip about wolfe. . .

Wolfe shared the news with Lionel Bienvenu of ABC-7 in Denver as part of an interview about his condition. Wolfe said that he thought the spinal cord injury he suffered in preseason had healed completely, but that he tried to come back too quickly from it and it “screwed up my nervous system” as a result.

Wolfe said his nervous system “started shutting down” on the team bus to the airport for a trip to Kansas City and he was knocked out for the next 26 hours. He woke up in the ICU and told Bienvenu that he broke the hospital bed while nurses tried to hold him down when he came around with no idea where he was. Rest has been the only thing on Wolfe’s plate since then, but he says he’s ready to start working out after regaining 20 lost pounds.

“I’m going to come back bigger, faster, stronger. Ready to start training next week,” Wolfe said.

lest hope he does indeed come back "

bigger, faster, stronger. Ready to start training next week

that would be great news for him and Broncos fans

Out 26 hours??? Broke the bed???


Hope this guy is going to be ok. His injury is very scary and hope he puts his safety first. Football is one thing but being in a wheelchair your whole life is another.



Come back stronger than ever big fella!

Not much more, but here's a link:

Broncos defensive end Derek Wolfe missed the final five games of the regular season and the entire playoffs after suffering a seizure in late November, but he says he’s ready to start training again next week.

It's no wonder the Broncos were so secretive.

DENVER - Months after a seizure ended his season last year, Broncos defensive end Derek Wolfe says he is ready to get back to work for the next season.

Wolfe was placed on a backboard and carted off the field during a preseason game against Seattle last August. He returned to play in the first 11 games of the season, but in retrospect says he knew something was not right.

"I thought I was fully healed and I came back a little too soon and kept hitting it," Wolfe told 7NEWS in an interview Wednesday. "It screwed up my nervous system a little bit - crisscrossed the wires a little bit."

rest - plus video - Derek talking about this - he looks good

I know, but usually when something happens, like ACL tear, etc., there is some leak of information. The way they handled this was not the status quo. This was like trying to get information out of Langley.
