OT: Ty Warren probably tore his tricep

[Rob0729]

From Rotoworld:

Broncos DT Ty Warren underwent an MRI late Monday on a triceps injury the team fears is "significant."


Beat writer Lindsay Jones ominously posted on Twitter that the muscle is "torn," although we suspect she didn't mean to report it just yet. She certainly has inside information, though. Warren suffered the injury in Monday's practice. A torn tricep would require surgery and almost certainly end his season.

Too bad. I always liked Warren. Looks like he will miss another year of football. At his age, he might be done.

Sorry to hear that. I can't help but wonder if he showed up in shape if he'd still be on the team. I remember seeing a video on patriots.com where he said he wasnt lifting weights in order to increase his flexibility. I just thought it was a bit strange for a DL.

Didn't know that. It'd help explain how he cut down to around 285 pounds.

Knowing from working out with a trainer, too much weight training can make you very stiff. Big muscle bound guys usually have poor flexibility. You can get strength without losing flexibility through resistance training and other exercises.

Once again BB knew when to cut bait.

That's too bad for Ty though. Hope he can resume his career next season.

Another former Pat succumbing to injury shortly after leaving the Pats

Seems almost like an epidemic

Injuries tend to snowball in the NFL.

One study shows that, after major surgery, 11.3% of players never return to the NFL, and 62.1% of players are gone from the league within three years.

 

[loloooooooooooo]

Brady is one of the 88.7 and 37.9 percent

True. They should take QBs and kickers out of the equation considering they take the least amount of contact.

Poor guy. I was wishing him well. Kind of makes cutting him seem like a good decision, though.

Look on the bright side, more time for school.

He gave us his best years and was part of the winning Super Bowl squads..I wish him nothing but the best in his future endeavors

You can lift as hard and as much as you want and maintain full flexibility simply by stretching properly.

It was more likely a ruptured tricep tendon, hes done for the year.

BB sure knows when to fold em.

It was more likely a ruptured tricep tendon, hes done for the year.

Ruptured the same about 20 years ago, cannot hold a small child in my right arm anymore for more than 2-3 minutes.. it is very painful and takes a while to heal.

Too bad for Ty he was a good Patriot..

True. Tim Ryan on SIRIUS NFL Network was at the Broncos camp, and commented on how out of shape Ty Warren was. Big boy comes in out of shape, I would think his chances of injury go up.

Grad school is a good option for Ty. If confirmed that it is a tear, he should quickly get surgery, write GRE, start a his masters degree, he can be done by next August.

What percentage of healthy players are out of the league after three years? I'd guess it's about half that. Most of the bottom half of league rosters seem to be newbies.

And the 89% return rate is remarkably high. Modern medicine!

Ty was awesome..... before he got the big contract. It is too bad, he was a good Patriot.
