Dennis Pitta’s injury opens the door for Lorenzo Taliaferro at fullback

Losing Tavon Young to a torn ACL was bad enough, but things got even worse for the Ravens yesterday.

Tight end Dennis Pitta stretched out for a catch and dislocated his hip. This is the third time this injury has happened, which means his playing career is likely over. It’s terrible news and you never want to see something like this happen.

However, Pitta’s injury affects more than just the tight end position battle this offseason. It ultimately affects who will start at fullback.

How so?

You may ask, how does Pitta’s injury affect the fullback competition?
