The Facts: All the advice Pitta was getting pointed toward him not coming back this year, though he wanted to. It appears the doctors and the Ravens were able to convince him. HC John Habaugh just told reporters that Pitta would be placed on injured reserve, meaning he would not be activated to attempt to come back after a pair of dislocated hips.
Diehards Line:
Pitta caught 61 passes for 669 yards and seven touchdowns during the run to the Super Bowl in 2012. But since then, he’s only played in seven games. Now, the question becomes whether he ever plays again. He has three more years left on his contract, but all the guaranteed money has been paid, meaning there’s nothing locking the Ravens to the 30-year-old tight end.
