The Baltimore Ravens have released tight end Dennis Pitta with an injury waiver after he suffered another hip injury during organized team activities last week.
Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official website broke the news of Pitta's release.
On June 2, Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome announced Pitta suffered a hip injury during OTAs and was undergoing tests to determine the extent of the damage.
NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported the same day doctors confirmed Pitta dislocated his hip. It's unclear if Pitta will be able to continue his playing career.
Pitta's career has been derailed by hip injuries the last four years. He first dislocated and fractured his hip in training camp in 2013. He returned for four games that year and played the first three games of 2014 before suffering the same injury against the Cleveland Browns, which caused him to miss the rest of that season and all of 2015.
All seemed to be right with Pitta last season. The 31-year-old appeared in all 16 games for the Ravens, setting career highs with 86 receptions and 729 receiving yards.
