Chip Kelly's recent assessment of Earl Wolff was short and not so sweet. The following exchange took place during the head coach's press conference on Tuesday:
"Q. How is Earl Wolff's progress in coming back from micro-fracture surgery?
CHIP KELLY: Earl has done nothing except stretch. So there is no progress right now.
Q. With Wolff, is that just a pain threshold thing? Has he been cleared?
CHIP KELLY: He's been cleared from Dr. [James] Andrews a couple weeks ago, but it's about what he can tolerate."
With a statement like that, Kelly is making it clear that Wolff is the only person holding himself back.
