Owings Mills, MD (SportsNetwork.com) – Baltimore Ravens tight end Dennis Pitta returned to practice for the first time all season on Thursday.<\/p>\n
The club placed the fourth-year veteran on the injured reserve-designated to return list on Sept. 4, after he underwent surgery to repair a dislocated hip during the summer. The injury was initially considered season-ending, but additional tests revealed that he did not suffer any structural or ligament damage.<\/p>\n
The Brigham Young product caught 61 passes for 669 yards and seven touchdowns last season.<\/p>\n
In his absence, Baltimore has relied on both Dallas Clark and Ed Dickson, who combined for 39 receptions and 451 yards with three touchdowns.<\/p>\n
Despite his comeback, Pitta still has no set timetable for an official return to action. He plans to test his repaired hip in practice over the next several weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
