It sure looks like veteran tight end Dennis Pitta’s career is over. The former fourth-round pick of the Baltimore Ravens suffered a hip injury last week, at which point suggestions were that he would be forced into retirement.

It’s the third hip injury Pitta has suffered throughout his career. And it has ended his time with Baltimore. The team announced on Wednesday that it has released Pitta with an injury waiver.

“The Ravens have released tight end Dennis Pitta with an injury waiver after he re-injured his hip in an Organized Team Activities practice last week, sadly ending his time in Baltimore,” the team announced on its official website.

This is just horrible news for both Pitta and the Ravens.

The BYU product is coming off a 2016 campaign that saw him put up 86 receptions for 729 yards and two touchdowns. It was the best performance of his career. It now looks like said career is all but over.
