The Patriots have placed 29-year old starting left DE Ty Warren on the Injured Reserve List with a labral tear in his hip.  He will have surgery on Monday.  Ty Warren played in 13 games for the Patriots last season and he had 46 tackles, 1 sack, 1 tackle for a loss and 1 pass defensed.  Warren’s job was actually to tie up blockers against the running game and let the linebackers make the plays and he was very good at that.  32-year old Gerard Warren will get the first shot to replace him in the starting lineup.  I view this as a odd choice as G.Warren is 6’4″, 325 pounds.  G.Warren played in 16 games for the Raiders last season and he had 35 tackles, 2 sacks and he defensed 1 pass.  This will be a loss to monitor for the Patriots as Ty Warren was one of their keys to the defense.
