OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) Leaning on crutches after enduring yet another operation on his burdensome right hip, Dennis Pitta spoke for five minutes without mentioning the dreaded R-word: retirement.
Yet, after his session with the media at the Baltimore Ravens training complex on Thursday, it became clear Pitta is aware his playing days are probably over.
”Listen, I’ve dislocated my hip three times. Take it for what it is,” Pitta said. ”I’m not delusional. I know and understand kind of what that means.”
The Ravens released Pitta with an injury waiver on June 7, five days after he dislocated and fractured his hip during an offseason practice session.
