FILE - In this Oct. 23, 2016, file photo, Baltimore Ravens tight end Dennis Pitta (88) takes the ball up field against the New York Jets during the second quarter of an NFL football game, in East Rutherford, N.J. The Ravens have released Pitta with an injury waiver after he hurt his right hip for a third time in practice last week. The injury occurred during an offseason practice session Friday. Each time Pitta hurt the hip previously, the injury was serious enough to be considered career-threatening. That appears to be the case again following his release Wednesday, June 7, 2017.
