The Ravens released tight end Dennis Pitta with an injury waiver June 7, five days after the popular tight end suffered his third major hip injury, which is likely to be career-ending for the seven-year veteran.
Pitta had battled back from a second hip dislocation to lead the Ravens with 86 catches last year -- a franchise record for a tight end -- for 729 yards and two touchdowns.
But during an OTA workout June 2, Pitta suffered what has been reported to be another dislocated hip. The workout was not open to the media, but according to the team, Pitta stretched to make a catch and fell to the turf, and when he went to get up, he could not put any weight on his leg.
