The Denver Broncos will be without defensive end Derek Wolfe for Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Wolfe fell ill on Friday's team bus ride to the airport.

"After the club's medical staff examined him, he was taken to the hospital by ambulance for testing and observation," the Broncos said in a statement. "At this time, Wolfe is continuing to be evaluated by doctors to determine the cause of his symptoms."

John Fox will return to the Denver Broncos on Monday.

Fox will either be on the sideline of in the coaches' box for the Broncos' game on Dec. 8 against the Tennessee Titans.

Fox is recovering from open-heart surgery earlier this month.

"John Fox has been cleared by doctors to return as head coach of the Denver Broncos beginning Monday," the team's statement said. "We are very pleased that his recovery from a heart procedure on Nov. 4 has progressed so well.

"Our organization is confident that his health will allow him to meet his head coaching responsibilities. While no formal restrictions will be placed on his workload upon return, he will continue to be monitored by our medical staff as his well-being remains our No. 1 priority."

The NFL plans its schedule years in advance and the New England Patriots will again host the Denver Broncos in Foxboro next season.

The AFC East and AFC West play against every team in the opposing division, with the home and away rotation with Denver falling on New England.

The Patriots hosted the Broncos on Sunday due to both teams being divisional winners in 2012.

Wes Welker left Tony Carter in no-man's land to accidentally touch the New England Patriots' fumble, which led to a fumble deep in the Denver Broncos' territory late in overtime.

“I’ve got to get to him earlier, and get those guys out of the way if I’m not going to make the catch,” said Welker.

“I was a little bit in-between,” Welker said, “and you can’t be that way.”

Welker was in the game returning punts in place of Trindon Holliday, who had fumbled earlier in the game.

“I was trying to get away from the ball, but it took a bounce,” said Tony Carter, who touched the ball.
