New Broncos DT Ty Warren suffered a triceps tear on Monday, which will require three to six months of recovery time, but the Broncos won’t place him on IR, according to a report.
Ty Warren’s Injury Won’t Land Him On IR For Broncos
The Broncos will not place him on IR and gain that extra roster spot, the Denver Post reports. Instead, he’ll have surgery on Tuesday morning and, because it’s just a partial tear, they’re hoping his recovery time is closer to three months rather than six.
If it’s a three month recovery time, that would put Warren’s return around sometime in mid-to-late November with four or five games remaining on the Broncos 2011 regular season schedule. If they’re in the playoff hunt at that point, then Warren’s return could be critical.
