For a year-and-a-half, Ravens tight end Dennis Pitta couldn’t give an answer to the question of whether he was ever going to play football again.

It wasn’t that he was being secretive. He truly didn’t know.

Now, at long last, Pitta is sure.

When asked if he could hypothetically suit up for a game today, Pitta confidently responded, “Yeah, I’m ready to play.”

“I don’t think there’s much of any hurdle left,” he said. “Barring a major setback in OTAs or training camp, I feel comfortable being out there practicing and playing.”

Pitta hasn’t played in a game since Sept.
