Derek Wolfe Injury

Head coach John Harbaugh revealed on Tuesday that Wolfe won't attend minicamp due to a recent bout of pneumonia. That kind of illness can drain anyone's body so it's good to know Wolfe is being allowed the chance to recover ahead of training camp next month.

The 31-year-old signed a one-year deal with Baltimore last year before re-upping for three years earlier this offseason. Wolfe recorded 51 total tackles, 19 solo tackles, 6 tackles for loss, 4 QB hits, 1.0 sacks and a fumble recovery in 2020.

The veteran could see an increased role for the team this season after the departures of Yannick Ngakoue and Matt Judon in free agency.
