Ravens place Dennis Pitta on short-term IR

The Baltimore Ravens placed tight end Dennis Pitta on the Injured Reserve-Designated for Return list Wednesday and re-signed tight end Billy Bajema.

Pitta dislocated his hip in the team's first contact practice of training camp in late July, and the Ravens originally believed it was a season-ending injury.

But Pitta didn't suffer ligament or cartilage damage, which gives him a chance to come back toward the end of the season.

Pitta could potentially return in Week 9, but that probably isn't feasible. It's more likely that he'll return for the fantasy playoffs, but he's not worth a long term stash unless your league has an IR slot.
