Thank goodness.
Ravens tight end Dennis Pitta has decided not to play this season after doctors told him it would be unsafe to do so. Team officials and the coaching staff were on the side of the doctors.
And, I'm guessing, so were many of even the most diehard fans of Baltimore football.
Like so many others, I watched on my living room television as Pitta caught a short pass, tried to turn upfield and just fell over in Cleveland last year. It was sickening.
Injuries happen in every game, but it was too much to take after watching Pitta come back to play the final four games of a nearly-lost 2013 season after first fracturing and dislocating his hip during training camp that year.
