OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) β Ravens tight end Dennis Pitta has returned to the practice field, hopeful that he can rebound from a hip injury that’s kept him sidelined since last year.
Pitta is on the physically unable to perform list. Baltimore has three weeks to decide whether to place him on the 53-man roster or season-ending injured reserve.
After Wednesday’s practice, Pitta said, “It’s a start. Obviously this is an assessment period.”
Pitta had 61 catches for 669 yards in 2012 and scored a touchdown in the Super Bowl.
But after dislocating his hip the following year in training camp, he missed the first 12 weeks of the season.
His 2014 season ended in Week 3, when he fractured and dislocated the same hip without being touched.
