There were fears Dennis Pitta’s career may be in jeopardy early last month, but the Baltimore Ravens are saying that isn’t the case.

Pitta sustained his second major hip injury in two years in September, there were concerns Pitta would never recover to the point where he can play competitive football again.

However Ravens head coach John Harbaugh told reporters he’s been told to expect Pitta to make a full recovery.

"They say it has no bearing on the future. It heals 100 percent," Harbaugh said. "Dennis can play again. Dennis has told me that he wants to play again. Of course if he wants to play, he'll get every opportunity to play if the medical people clear him. And I've been told to this point that they see no reason why it wouldn't be clear if everything goes according to plan."

The Ravens signed Pitta to a five-year, $32 million deal this off-season.

The 29-year-old had 16 catches for 125 yards in three games this season before getting hurt. For his career Pitta has 138 receptions for 1,369 yards and 11 touchdowns.
