Former BYU football tight end Dennis Pitta released by Ravens

BYU football’s 2010 fourth-round draft pick’s career will most likely come to an early finish after he dislocated his hip, according to doctors.

Pitta was reaching for a pass during practice when the injury occurred. There was no contact on the play according to the Ravens, and when Pitta went to stand up, he could not place any weight on his leg.

Pitta’s first hip injury came in 2013 when he dislocated it in practice before the season began.

He later reinjured it in week three against Cleveland in 2014.
