When Dennis Pitta suffered his third major hip injury, it was Benjamin Watson who got under one of Pitta’s arms and helped carry him to the training room.
Pitta knew immediately what had happened and how bad it was. That didn’t stop Watson from praying all weekend that the test results would produce a miracle. They, unfortunately, didn’t.
Now it’s Watson who is needed to step up and help the Ravens’ tight end corps and offense as a whole. He took a major first step Tuesday, as he returned to the field for the first time at minicamp.
